Hey guys. New pool owner here. First of all I’ll try to provide as much info as possible. Please let me know if I’ve left anything out.
15000 gal. Pool/spa, automatic chlorinator, pebble tec, Pentair Intelliflo pump, cartridge filter.
Pool was filled Friday morning at 5am. Called the start up guy at 9 am. Communication has been abysmal. I’ll probably post a follow up thread with more questions. At any rate I guess the start up guy came on Friday and put at least 2 gallons of muriatic acid in. And set the pump to a schedule. I’ve been brushing the pebble finish 2-3 times a day as directed. There are no chlorine pucks in the chlorinator right now. There was start up stuff dropped off days earlier... of note a bottle of “startup-tec” to be added as pool filled? Apparently to reduce plaster dust. This was never used. Again, I’ll likely have more questions, about startup chemicals, maybe even later in this thread...
My main question this minute is can my kids jump in this yet? Is it safe for the kids? Is it safe for the pool?
By the way I do have the Taylor k-2006. I’ll probably run tests now, although I am hasitant to do anything with chemicals until I can get a hold of the pool builders tomorrow. Also never done any pool testing so I’m a noob. I don’t want to void any warranty or cause problems myself.
