I have had my pool up for 10 days and just turned the filter on 2 days ago. Wasnt sure it was safe or not without having the electrical
turned on but apparently its ok temporarily as long as its plugged in to GFCI outlet.
Anyway---
My FC was at 0 yesterday. I added appoximately 44 ounces of bleach. Tested today with TF100 kit (the simple test) and chlorine was up between .5 and 1.
I added another 30 oz of bleach---I also purchase some dicholor powder. (2 single packs)
I took my water to the pool store to analyze being I was there anyway. They said my CYA is at 10 PPM and my FC was at .2.
I will test my CYA and FC again before shocking.
Looking at the CYA/FC table, it says I would have to get my FC up to 20 before I could add the Dicholor to get my CYA up to 50 ? Is that accurate ?
Or do I just add the Dicholor and see what it does to my FC/CYSA levels ?
Sorry if these are dumb questions, its all new to me. I do have the TF100 kit so I guess I am in good shape there. Everywhere else, not so much. :/
