OK, so I have this giant green swamp in my backyard. Finally have all the equipment wired up and ready to go. Just need to start adding chemicals.
The pool was filled with our city fed tap water. I have the TF-100 kit and tested CYA this morning. I got NO READING. I'm not sure if the water in the bottle is supposed to get cloudy or turn a color but mine was crystal clear - so the black dot was always visible. Does that mean I have no CYA?
Do I need to add CYA then wait before adding chlorine to start the slamming process?
I also have no chlorine in the pool. ZERO. Not even registering.
PH is above 8.2 - pinker than the 8.2 on the chart.
The only that has been added was salt by the pool builder. This was added about a week ago but the pump wasn't running.
