so new pool, drinking water filled. Finally have all electrical done and added stabilizer 2 nights ago. Will add salt today. First time using poolmath and want to make sure I have it right.
Salt water generator (will start 24hrs after adding salt), above ground pool
18' x 33' x 54"
Estimated gallons 14500
CI - 2 (taylor 5 drop test - have been adding liquid bleach every day. Expect CYA to kick in a few days).
PH - 8.2+ (taylor 5 drop test)
BR - 4 (taylor 5 drop test)
TA - 300
CH - 250
CYA - too early to test
Salt - 190ppm
so it looks like I need to add
-400lbs of salt (maybe start with 350lbs and test again in a few days? I am afraid of adding too much)
-CL - add 90oz of 6% bleach
-TA - I need to get the PH down and retest right?
-PH - add 125oz of 31.45% - 20 of muriatic acid
-Borates - should I get the PH down before I try to add the 615oz of borax? I am already high on PH and don't want to raise it even more by adding the borax
