So our "new to us" pool is currently filling and the kids are getting excited. They were awesome in helping move wrinkles around to the outside in the heat Sunday and that went pretty well with the foam floor. I almost have it filled now to the return line and am starting to get nervous. I have been reading up on pool school and searching around but have not really found a thread of put x, y, and z in the pool to startup once you are able to filter (or before for that matter.) UPS tracking says my TF-100 test kit is due Thursday.
We have a 30 foot round 54" pool. Using PoolMath, I think it is 22,000 gallons assuming at final I will be about 50" deep. We are filling it from our well and I am not sure if we have any iron in the water or not. I have a science experiment going on in my kitchen with a cup filled with water and some bleach to see if it gets cloudy....just so I know what to expect.
Should I throw anything suchas bleach in there tonight? If so, what?
I did see a suggestion on one thread to bring the FC to 3, CYA to 30 and adjust pH to 7.4.
If I plug that into PoolMath, do I use the FC now at 0 and go to 3 resulting in adding 137 oz of 6% bleach?
Not sure what to plug in for CYA or pH now? Can that wait to be added until Thursday?
I'm positive the kids want to swim and positive I don't want the start of a green algae pool come Thursday because I did not ask for help. Thanks in advance for reading and helping us out!
