I started the pump Monday evening. I added the salt and started bringing the CH up. Tuesday morning I added the Jack's Magic and started adding stabilizer. Tuesday night I shocked the pool, turned on the SWG and finished adding stabilizer. Wednesday I added more calcium to bring the CH up.
Numbers as of this morning:
FC - 5 - a little high but holding steady over the last 36 hours so that is good.
pH - 7.6 without me doing anything yet
CYA - will wait till next week to test.
CH - 150 - still a bit low, I want it around 200
TA - 80. Pool school says TA for salt pools needs to be 50-70 but this is how it came out of the ground, so I will take it. Last year it was 120 from the well.
I have a sequst test kit on order so I can figure out a dosing schedule for the Purple Stuff. I also have a timer coming. Right now I turn the pump on before work and turn it off around dinner time.
