Hi everyone I found this forum through googling and found that a lot of people was recommending people this way. I purchased a Radiant 24ft metric with the permasalt system and 2 speed pump/sand filter. My 24ft got lost or stuck at the boarder somewhere so, they upgraded me to a 33ft for free yay. I finally got it filled today but, I didn't get much info from the store i got it from. They gave me 2 bags of salt and a box of shock (RE-FRESH) Here is the steps that I've done so far.
1 X bag of salt 40lbs
1 X 1lb bag of Re-Fresh
Ran the sand filter on circulate for 4 hours
After 4 hours I flipped the filter to filter
I called the store and asked them how long to wait before getting in and they said after the 4 hours of circulation it's good to go
I used one of the Aquachek testers and the
total Alkalinity was in the ok range of 40-80 closer to the 40 color.
PH was in the ok range of 7.2-7.8
Copper ION was about 0.2 no more than 0.4
I then used the PH,Chlorine and Bromine test with the yellow and red sides
PH again tested good after 4 drops of the solution
CL test was clear enough to mistake for drinking water but, it should have been a shade of yellow
Should I put in more shock and the second bag of salt? Oh and since being here it seems like the Permasalt system has about a 30/70 love hate going on. But as this is the first season i won't look to replace it first thing. Maybe next year. I'm trying to get the family in the pool before season is over
