New Leisure Ultimate 35

[Bearded Vet]

I just got everything finished on my new inground pool and need some guidance.

Do I need to put shock since it has a salt cell?

How much muriatic acid to bring my PH and Alkalinity down? It is currently at 8 and 123, respectively. Leslies said their system will not give a dosage for the acid as they say it is not good for a fiberglass pool.

Would you mind giving me a recommended schedule to use in omnilogic?

Thank you all for the input. I look forward to engaging with you all.

I will tell you we do not trust pool store testing............we have either experienced the affects or seen it in others pools. The pool store is there to sell you stuff. If you look up in those links I shared you will see what we use in our pools. It can all be bought at stores like Target, Walmart, Lowes, etc!! How neat is that???

You are going to have LOTS of questions! Make sure to ask each and every one of them!

Hello Kim. Thank you for the response. I have bookmarked all of the sites you recommended and have looked through the test kits. Should I be looking at the TF100 kit for saltwater pools?

 

[kimkats]

Yes and with the added salt testing. I think one of their kits include the salt kit. The site is in my signature below.

BV,

If you follow the TFP pool care process, you should never have to add "shock" to your pool. If you keep your FC and CYA in the proper relationship per our recommendations, that is all that needs to be done. FC/CYA Levels Note this link has two tabs, one of non-saltwater pools and one for saltwater pools.

Thanks,

Jim R.

Get the TF Pro Salt kit. It's pretty sweet. I have it and absolutely love it.
