So you have the test kit. Have you tried it?

I have not tried it yet. I was waiting for the pool to fill. Guess i shoulda test my tap water to practice
The best thing a pre-test will do for you is let you know the PH and TA of your fill water. That way you will know what to have on hand as far as muratic acid and such.
Plus it is just fun to do!

Okay ph is at an 8.0 and i need to be a 7.0/7.2, how much acid do i need to add? And whats the process? Just throw in the pool or pour into the skimmer?

Using pool math i got 61oz of Muriatic acid. Did i calculate correctly? Just how to intriduce it to the pool now?

That which you seek, in Pool School you will find:
Recommended Pool Chemicals
Pour it slowly in front of a return jet.

I also want to tell you that 8.0 is about as high as the test goes so...........it might be higher. I just wanted you to be ready for it just in case.

Yea we jumped in yesterday for a quick swim before adding acid so the kids could try the slide. Its cold though only 70* cant use the heater for two weeks

Also once i am to put Muriatic acid into the pool, how long should i wait again before i check to make sure it lowered the ph before dumping more in? And for the first ten days they want the chlorine at 1.0, so once i get it to 1.0 using the pool math, how do i determine how much l.c. I should add every day to maintain that level? And night time or morning time to add lc? I didnt see these answer in pool school so sorry if i missed them.
At least 30 minutes of circulation before testing again.
Test your FC, then use PoolMath again to target your 1ppm, which is ridiculously low btw.
Really does not matter when you add, best to be consistent though.

I would test and add at least 2 or 3 times per day, your pool is going to use 2-3ppm per day. The more often your add your 1ppm the better your chance of avoiding an algae bloom. But, I don't see how you can keep 1ppm of chlorine in your pool and not get algae.
ok i thought i could just pour a certain amount in each day one time a day and be fine for the entire day
Same thing if I need to add muriatic acid and chlorine at the same time do I wait a half an hour between adding each different chemical?
