My pool was just completed, plastered on 8/27, garden hose water fill completed on 8/29, pool builder put acid in pool on 8/30 and 9/4 with instructions to brush at least 3 times a day. Today we were given 25 pounds of balance PAK 100 (baking soda) and told to put it in over the course of the day and then we can swim tomorrow. The pump is running (I have not received any instruction on how to run any of the equipment that will supposedly be next Wednesday).
I asked about adding chlorine and they said do not worry about it, tabs are in the chlorinator.
Pool company tested water today before the baking soda with numbers of pH 6.6, Total Alk 1, Total hardness 693, FC 0.1, CC 0.1, CYA 32
My testing with TF100 pH 6.7, Total Alk 0, Calcium Hardness 850, FC 0, CC 0, CYA <20
Is it safe to just swim tomorrow? I was going to recheck the pH and add chlorine to at least get FC to 3.
Thanks in advance for advice
