Brand new pool. Pump/filter will hopefully be operational tomorrow if the electrician makes it. I've been adding roughly 1/2 gallon of chlorine per day to keep the algae at bay. Today I did my first water test and here are the results :oops::
FC: 0.6
CC: 0.4
TA: 140
CYA: didn't register (somewhere between 0 and maybe 20 as I added this a while back)
pH: 7.4
CH: 80
Salt: 382

I know I need to add approximately 310 lbs. of salt which I have on standby. I think the CYA needs between 6 and 8 lbs. What else should I add to my shopping list (other than a case of beer)?
 
Always good to have a gallon or two of liquid chlorine just in case. Of course the stabilizer for the CYA. You might also grab a gallon of muriatic acid for times when the pH needs to be lowered. Keep the MA stored outdoors somewhere safe and isolated from kids & pets.
