Hello,
This is week one with our 18’ x 52”H vinyl pool and we are overwhelmed with where to start!!!
We slowly filled our 7,000 gallon pool with filtered well water. (Filled for 2-3 hours per day for 8 days.). Now, that the water level is finally high enough we have started to run the filter, and we just ran all the tests in the TF-100 test kit with the following results…
FC, CYA, CSI (n/a - we have not added any chemicals yet)
TA 650
PH 7.2
CH 75
Temp 50°-ish (Our best guess, thermometer hasn’t arrived from Amazon yet)
1. How much chlorine/bleach do I add initially?
2. How can my TA be so extremely high at 650, but my PH still be 7.2, and how do I lower the TA without lowering my PH?
Please help!
