I need some advice on starting up. I have assembled the pool, filled it about halfway, and assembled the filter. I have not added any chemicals yet, it's filled halfway with city water. I'm getting stuck on the chemical maintenance. I work full time, and need something relatively low maintenance.
I wanted to get an automatic chlorinator, but my CYA is already within an acceptable range, so I don't think I should use one. But I've heard the floating clorinators dispense unevenly and can damage the liner. Need something quick and easy, and safe for small children.
I tested the city water I filled it with and got these levels from the HTH test strips I used:
Chlorine- NONE
PH 7.8
Alkalinity 240
Hardness 400
CYA 40
Pool and equipment information is in my signature.
I have a brush and a vacuum and a solar cover. Just need advice on chemical startup and maintenance. TIA!
