Re: Future pool location photo
Gosh am I feeling nervous! First, let me say I'm going to follow the recommendations of this board. The question is, do I have the pool place add the starter chemicals that came with the pool package or not? Included are: 5lbs. Easy Pool and 4lbs. chlorine tablets.
Just talked to pool store. Iron in the water is common in our area so they are recommending something that will remove the iron before I add the chlorine so my liner won't get stained. They were going to drop the wedding cake steps in tomorrow when they were here, but should I wait until the iron issue is resolved?
I tested for TA and am confused by my results. By red, do they really mean dark pink? When I hear red, I think of fire trucks. After 30 drops of R-0009, all I ever got was dark pink. Around 24 drops, the water turned from clear to light pink and stayed that way. Do I go with that number or do I go with 28, which is where the color deepening stopped. If I did it right, my TA is 240-280...pretty high since 70-90 is what is recommended here.
First time using pool math...IF I did the test right, and IF I did the pool math right, I would need to add 33+lbs. of baking soda to get to a goal of 90. Yikes!
