New Southern pool

[Dave31410]

We live in Savannah, GA, and just had a pool build competed this week. We have a salt chlorination system, but I am wondering if I should wait until Spring to add salt to the pool and turn on the chlorinator. Until then I would just use bleach and pH adjustments as needed.

You can add the salt now if you just want to get rid of the bags sitting in the garage.

Or you can wait. "Machts nicht" as they say in German. Makes little difference. When you do get ready to add it only add about 3/4 of what PoolMath says to add, and then retest. You'll also need a salt test kit which you can obtain from tftestkits.net

The SWG won't work in the colder temps so good plan on using plain, unscented, not thickened, non-Cloraxamax type bleach. You may find your FC lasts quite a long time in cold water with the winter sun low in the sky.

I would add about 30ppm of CYA now though and then in the spring raise it up to SWG levels.
