Hello! I'm getting an early start on opening my pool. I tested the water this evening (pump is not hooked up yet) and these are the results:
FC 1.5
CC 0
pH 7.2
Alk 50
CYA 50
I use the test kit recommended by this site. My question is, do I want to fix the pH first by adding soda ash and hope that it fixes the alkalinity or add baking soda to increase alkalinity and hope that if fixes the pH. OR wait until I've had the pump up and running for a bit and then test?
Is it important to bring up FC first or balance pH?
Thanks.
