I want to make sure I have a game plan on what I need to do.
I have a new liner being installed in about 2 weeks and I want to have my arsenal of supplies ready.
Phase 1
First, since I have a salt water pool, I need several bags of Salt (about 18 or so for my 27K pool).
Second, I know I will need CYA as my fill water will not have any. (stabilizer)
Third, I know I will need to get chlorine in there soon; however I'm not positive on how much initially as I allow the salt to circulate 24 hours prior to turning on the SWG.
Phase 2
Being to adjust the pH and TA according to my fill water's beginning amounts.
Chemicals to have on hand:
Pure Salt
Liquide Chlorine
Stabilizer
Muratic Acid & Baking Soda (that's the nature of my SWG)
Now from here, is there is any steps I have missed (other than adjusting the chemistry to fall within the guidelines)?
On another topic, I have used hth Shock & Swim (cal-hypo) and have read about it adding to much calcium to pools. I just don't understand how if people only use this to shock their pool, how do they even manage with such a high CH? I have read about Dichlor and Trichlor, but I just do not understand them that well and I haven't seen any (I'm almost refusing to step foot back into a pool store).
Thanks
