2 days ago we filled our pool with the guy helping me on start-up and we did the following.
pool is 17000 gall pebble in-ground
1 Gallon 29% muriatic acid
2 lbs of solid CYA
1 gallon 10% bleach
I tested yesterday and following the pool calculator added the following
1 gallon 10% bleach
14 oz muriatic acid
tested this morning with TFT100 and here is what I have now
FC 2ppm
CC 1
TC 3
pH 7.8
CYA is less than 20, could still see the dot at 20 but it was beginning to get cloudy.
I haven't done the TA or CH test because I wanted to focus on the chlorine and CYA first.
My question is what should my target CYA be? The pool is in direct Las Vegas sun almost the whole day. I know I have to wait for the CYA to dissolve, that's why I figured I would just add bleach until the CYA leveled out and go from there. How long should it before the CYA levels out and is the correct way to approach it. I know I don't just want to add CYA and get the level too high.
Thanks
