Noob to the forum. Looking for CYA advice

[Kaptain]

Close enough.
Pump on.
Pour it in about 12" out in front of a return. Slooowly, like a gallon every two minutes, pencil thin stream.
Mark your time, or set a timer for 30 minutes.
Brush around a bit on the bottom (a minute).
After 30 minutes, do your dpd test and post the results (picture of the comparator). I'll be on.

FC looks about a 4


TC looks like 5

ok, if you had any ammonia, it is likely gone.
Next time take a pic in neutral light with a white paper behind it, it really helps you and us.
post up results in the morning and we'll see how much you've lost, and get next steps.

Great, we lost some chlorine overnight, not sure how much. Great job.

1. Get pool math if you don't have it. Link-->PoolMath
2. Configure your pool in pool math, use the same login/pw as TFP and enable sharing the in gear menu (upper right).
3. Get 15 gallons of liquid chlorine. Walmart has Pool Essentials liquid chlorine.
4. Use pool math to determine how much Liquid to add 3ppm.
5. Add 3ppm of liquid chlorine per DAY until your kit arrives. nothing else.
6. When your kit arrives, post a full set of results. FC, CC, pH, TA, CH, CYA.
7. Then we SLAM. Link-->SLAM Process
