When starting above ground pool up what chemicals do I add first. I have added the chlorine but today I have no chlorine and all levels are low for all areas?
Just curious as to why that test kit instead of TF-100?
15,700 gallons above ground vinyl pool. 18x33 I could not find the TF-100. Where can I buy one?Just curious as to why that test kit instead of TF-100?
Stay away from ANY product labeled "XtraBlue" as they contain copper.
You need at least 30ppm CYA in the water as it "holds" on the the chlorine so that the sun won't burn it away as fast as it must be doing now. In hot sunny cliimates some folks add more to maintain their chlorine so they go up to 40ppm or more. Its a trial and error thing so start with 30ppm and see how it goes.
How big is your pool?? What is the finish? Gallons??

I threw your pool gallons in the top section, and went down to the CYA section and told it you have zero now, but you want 30ppm....see how it gave me the following answer? ")

I did the CYA and I still have all levels very low or zero. Can you give me a step by step for adding chemicals, i.e. order of adding and how much. My pool is 15,700 gallons and above ground.Thank you for the info. I will get to work on this!
