Initial Test Results after New Start Up

[TAMC93]

Pool was just started up Sunday and after adding acid, shock, bleach, hardness control*, and stablizer* (* items suggested by pool supply house), the first batch of results using the TF100 kit are:

PH - 7.2
FC - 3.5
CC - 0
TC - 3.5
TA - 90
CH - 300 (was at 125 from Pool Supply results)
CYA - <20 (was the same before)

I know I need to work on the CYA and continue to monitor FC/PH levels for awhile. Any additional thoughts?

How does your water look?

Water looks clear. Has from the start.

Well, your numbers look good except for CYA so I believe all you have to do is bring your CYA up to around 40-50 ppm and start swimming! Nice work!
