Had some pool repairs done over the summer. I was actually out of state for a bit an it was done while I was away. This pool is located where I work, so while it's not 'mine'...if I want a pretty clean pool it is pretty much on my shoulders.
It is a fiberglass pool that has never really been kept up and the lining started to release fibers. Make for extremely itchy swimmers. Just had the pool resurfaced and started filling it Tuesday.
Completed the fill this morning (could only fill while someone was here 8-5).
I want to use the BBB method, so here I am
I added a bit of bleach while filling, not much just a cup ever so often. Since I knew it would take a couple of days to fill I wanted to keep some kind of headway on any ickies starting in the water.
Here is where I am at now:
.5 FL
1 CC
.5 TC
7.8 PH
280 TA
250 CH
Absolutely no stabilizer has been added, so CYA is a big fat Zero
No salt has been added yet.
Haven't spent much time reading the forum (more homework to do for sure!), but I know I needed to get the PH down. According to the pool calculator, I added 100 oz of muriatic acid.
I have bleach and borax on hand, on my way out for lunch to pick up some stabilizer.
Oh wise, what shall my next step be? I want to make sure I get started on the right foot!!! Thanks so much in advance
