This weekends project was to put up the pool for the kids...mission accomplished. Living in MN I think summer may have finally arrived!! i have been reading the forum for about a week now and decided to try the BBB method this year. We have had above ground pools before but always run into problems and found myself in the pool store :grrrr: This year I want to prevent that...so i turn to you all for help and support.
The pool is filling as I type this. 14x42 Intex ultra frame pool, i only have the filter it came with states system flow rate of 750/hr. Will this be good enough? I did purchase a SWCG, but after reading here I am hesitant to hook it up as it has the copper ionization. Maybe i should stick with the BBB method without the with SWCG this year and see how successful I am.
Here are my test results from my fill water:
PH=7.5
TC=0
TA= 260ppm
TH=260ppm
CYA=0
Where do I start? I put the numbers into the pool calculator, but I just don't know where to start. When I think I have a handle on it...I start to panic. I know I need to get the CYA up and bought stabilizer from Walmart, is that OK? Also the TA is high do i adjust that first?
Thanks in advance! Amy
