Our pool was completed on May 22 and some quantity of copper algaecide and metal sequester were added at that time. On May 27, the PB put start-up chemicals in the pool - 3 bags of shock, 4 lbs of CYA (via the skimmer), and put pucks in the inline chlorinator. On May 30, we backwashed (lots of dirt from pool construction) due to an increase in filter pressure.
I have tested the water daily since May 29 using the TF Test Kit. These are my numbers as of June 1.
FC 2.5
CC 0
TC 2.5
PH 7.8
TA 160
CYA The tube filled all the way up and I could still see the dot. So I assume it is less than 20.
I have a couple of questions.
1. Do I need to add more CYA or wait for a few more days?
2. Do I need to adjust the TA or not?
