We had the pool installed last year and had our pool company open the pool for the first time. Unfortuantely, that may have been a mistake...they did all the testing and adding chemicals.
Besides all the worms and some leaves, the water was pretty darn clear. The worms and leaves have been removed, but still need to vacuum.
Here are my current readings...
PH 8.0
FC 26...Pool company said it was 0 when they tested so they added a few jugs of liquid chlorine.
CC < .5
CYA < 30...when I filled the test kit all the way to the top, the black dot was a little visible...not completely clear so I'm guessing there is some CYA in the pool. It's cloudy out, but I had no choice since the forecast doesn't call for sun for a few days.
Now, I'm at a lost as to what needs to be done next. Not sure if I address the CYA now or monitor the FC and make sure I pass the FC overnight test.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
