New to Saltwater

measured my salt level (which is 2800 )with the recommended test kit pool math says 13 pounds to reah 3000 which is optimism
does starting with 10 pounds seem like a good starting point

Sure. But you could just turn your SWCG on and see if it's happy - you might be just fine at 2800. But adding 10 lbs won't hurt anything.

Do a quick search for copper in the search bar - it can be removed by filtration with polyfill or similar. There's several threads on the 'bucket' method of filtering through a bucket full of polyfill. My Bad - that's for iron!!

You may want to consider having a sample of your refill water (city tap water) tested for metals also.
2.8ppm is pretty high. No idea what the EPA deems is an acceptible level for tap water.

This treatment is for iron, not copper. You have to drain a pool that has copper in it if you want to remove it.
