Bought a house over the winter with an in-ground SWG pool, 23,000 gallons. This spring, it needed a new liner, so I'm basically starting from scratch. The pool just finished filling with tap water, filter is running (DE Filter), salt water chlorinator hasn't been turned on yet.
I have the Taylor test kit and I've been reading up on everything and am reasonably sure what levels I need everything to be at. The thing that I'm getting tripped up on is what order to do things in. Not sure if I'm overcomplicating it or if I am missing something.
Right now, levels are this (I think, first time I've used the test kit):
CC .4ppm
PH 7.6
TA 70 ppm
CYA 0
Salt 0
My question is, how much chlorine do I add, and when? I know how much salt I should need, do I add that first, turn on the swg then add chlorine? Chlorine first? And how much? Feeling totally lost on this part of it. (I know I also need to add CYA)
I feel like I've seen advice that the chlorine level should be right before adding salt, and advice that the salt level should be right before adding chlorine. And is there anything else I'm missing?
Thanks!
