I did my first test with the TF-100 on my new AGP tonight. The following are the results: CL-5, Ph-7.2, FC-7ppm, CC-0.5, TC-7.5, TA-170, and CYA-40. I also got the Aqua Chek salt test strips and got a reading of 2860. The pool was filled on Tuesday. Wednesday I added 128oz of Pool Essentials Chlorinating Liquid which I believe is 10% chlorine, roughly 3 lb of Clorox pool stabilizer, and (9) 40lb bags of Clorox pool salt. I brushed the bottom of the pool until there was no visible salt on the bottom. Then I ran the pump on high speed for 6 hours and then switched it to low and continued to run it for 20 more hours. When I got home from work on Thursday I turned on the Intex SWCG and switched the pump back to high. I took the water sample roughly 10 min after I turned on the SWCG.
I have a question about doing the TA test. When adding the R-009 do you count the drops until it just starts to turn red/pink or until it is dark red?
What is my next step for turning this new pool into a trouble free pool? Any advice will be greatly appreciated, this is my first pool and have zero experience with them other than swimming in them.
