As some of you may know, I just bought my first pool. And I have it put up, liner in, water filled and now I am at the point of putting in the chemicals. I purchased the TF100 Test kit as everyone on here suggested. And took my readings...
Total Alkalinity Test - 150
Calcium Hardness test - 250
CYA test - Mixed the water with the solution as directed, Filled the whole tube up and I still could see the black dot (Holding it at waist level)
The company that I bought the pool sent me the following:
Blue Wave Chlorburst 6 1lbs bags.
Blue wave Stabilize Chlorinating 3" tablets 10lbs
Halt 50 Swimming Pool Algaecide
Ph Reducer - 5lbs
Ph Increaser - 5lbs.
Now I am confused and don't know how much of this stuff I need to put in the pool. I really don't know what each of these do except for the Ph Reducer/Increaser (Because the name is self explanatory)
Can someone help a newbie and show him the light?
Thanks in advance..
