Getting ready for opening

[Joelarredondo]

Alrighty guys - as the weather is getting warmer here in Texas, I am looking at getting everything balanced for opening soon.

My question is really where to get started. I know I need to add more salt, we had a ton of rain last week. But otherwise which metric should I go after first?

Thanks for all the help! Hope everyone is staying safe out there!

I will share a link with you: Recommended Levels - Trouble Free Pool

Most everything can be worked on at the same time EXCEPT adding FC and Lowering pH with muriactic acid. The chlorine and m.a. do not play well together. Make sure the pump is on and wait 15 mins or so between the two and it should all be good!

Joe, other than getting the salt back up and making sure the SWG is producing what you want, you might want to start bringing that CYA up a bit to help the SWG. The chilly water has been helping with that and compensating for the pH being on the high end. Once your water temp approaches 75-80, that will all change. Then you'll be glad the CYA was a bit higher and want to start watching/adjusting the pH a little. So other than a little salt and stabilizer, relax and enjoy the tail-end of your pool maintenance vacation. It's about to change fairly soon here in TX.
