Pool was just filled a week and half ago. Pool contractor has been maintaining while curing but its time for me to take over. Got a TF-100 test kit and tested today and plugged it in to pool calculator. I would like to post my results and tell you my plan to see if I am on the right check. I understand my pool ph and other readings may bounce at first as the plaster cures for the next few months. First off, results:
Virtually no chlorine. Maybe .5 of FC and .5 of CC
pH = greater than 8.2
TA = 90-100
CH = 240
CYA - less than 20
Water temp 90 degrees
My targets are
FC - 4
ph - 7.7
TA - 90
CH - 260
CY - 30
I plugged all this in to the pool calculator and my plan is to add
182oz of 6% bleach (2 jugs) in front of the return jets
22oz (volume) of muriatic acid (31.45% - 20 Baume) in front of return jets
52oz (volume) of calcium chloride spread over the deep end
76oz of liquid stabilizer (I know it is more expensive but I just want to get it in the pool and not mess with the sock thing in the skimmer this time around)
Am I on the right track?
