Hi! I'm a second year "TFPer" I'd appreciate if the pros could check my plan now that I have my pool running to catch me before I make a mistake!
The pump has been running about 4 hours, pool builder checked everything out, added 1 gal 12.5% liquid chlorine.
My #s (with tf100 kit)
pH 8.2+
FC 6.0 cc .5
TA 160
CH 300
salt approx 3000 (based on last season's 3400 with some rain dilution over the winter through my mesh cover. I ordered salt strips from tf kits today)
CYA almost 40
water looks slightly cloudy, had some debris in water upon opening. 60 degrees
Already brushed and vacc'ed
My plan: get pH down asap. use 2 quarts acid, test after 1 hour till I get to 7.7-7.8 range. I think this could take a couple rounds to get pH right. It is probably over 8.2
after pH ok, shock process till clear all 3 criteria. I have read pool school. shock level is 15 for CYA 40.
Then fix salt level once I can test it, dial in my swcg.
Add 7 lb 8 oz powder CYA target:70
inflate pool floatie, enjoy
Is there anything I should change/add?
Thank you as always, you guys/gals are great!
