Hi, after what seems like forever, my new 12x20 oval Radiant is finally filling up with water. Though we won't be able to swim for a couple of weeks because the patio work is underway now, I will start up the pump and filter to keep the water somewhat clean while they are working. I have a Hayward super pump 700 and a Hayward EC65 Perflex DE filter and an online chlorinator. We also have an AquaComfort ACT750 hear pump which I won't start using yet.
I have read the ABS's of pool chemistry and I have my testing not ready to go. I just have a few questions.
1. Is my plan correct to not add chemicals to the water and just charge and run the filter a few hours a day while they work until we are ready to start using the pool?
2. I tested my house water just to get a baseline idea of the levels, so I'd know what chemicals to buy.
3. Is this the correct order for adjusting the water when I'm ready? First get the CYA to the proper level. Then TA, then PH. Then shock to get my chlorine level up and then start with my regular stabilizers chloine?
Thanks in advance.
