I will post all my chemistries once I get home from work but we have new in-ground shotcrete, plaster pool. Water was managed for first month with chlorine (liquid) and we have now transitioned to IC-40 SWG. Start up done by pool builder
I have been testing the water daily with Taylor K2006.
pH has been good, 7.6 on average.
Salt level 3000, salt cell working and all lights green.
FC has been zero, not even slightly pink.
When I recently did CYA test, the water in test tube did not turn cloudy at all which I interpret as ZERO CYA.
I contacted the pool builder about the start up process and the use of conditioner/ CYA thus far. His response (cut and pasted from his text):
"There is no reason to add cyanuric acid on a covered pool using salt. That’s for commercial pools."
So I guess I will be on my own on this one but thankfully have you all as well as Pool Math for advice and guidance.
