So I'm getting conflicting advice about this. The
pebble startup instructions say no chlorine in the first 48 hours because of metal precipitation. But I don't think we have metal in our water here, and my PB didn't add any sequestrant (even though the startup instructions say to). On the other hand, in my "Just getting started"
thread they told me the high CYA level was fine but that I needed to get some chlorine in there right away. And it's not as if my PB waited to add anything, I saw him throw something granulated in the pool to add chlorine (not sure if it was dichlor or cal-hypo) and I just tested my FC and it's 5.5 ppm. So I don't see how taking it up to the recommended level from my CYA would hurt.
You obviously don't think I should be adding chlorine tonight -- why?
