I just opened my pool on Memorial day, due to a mesh cover it a was a total mess as always.
Got out most of the "sediment" leaves, worms, and such, still working on getting the rest of the stuff out using the main drain
as much as possible (don't want to vac to waste to much and have to add water, I have a well and being cautious on pump life).
Initial status: 6/2/22:
FC -0
CC - 1.0
PH 7.0
Alka - 60
CYA - 0
Current status 6/6/22 after adding additional LC (obviously over did the LC a bit), added some CYA (got it to 30), and baking soda to raise PH and Alka:
FC - 9.0
CC - 0.5
PH - 7.2
Alka - 80
CYA - 30
Water is clear, still some sediment, dead algae and such (working on vacuum and backwash).
Comments appreciated as to this status as I am Slam(ing) for these past 5 days.
