I signed up for the paid pool math app but is there a sequence of testing the chemicals and inputting data and then adding what it tells me. I have heard that chlorine goes last but it would be nice to hear from experts on the correct sequence to follow.

Is there a guide to using the app? I don't fully understand the log test results option or the add chemicals option as i though the main home screen area where i input the test data does this anyway?
 
Sequence does not matter except add liquid chlorine and muriatic acid at least 15 minutes apart.

Stabilizer is a mild acid so if you are adding stabilizer to raise CYA then don’t lower your pH until after the stabilizer has had 24 hours to dissolve.

What are your test results and what chemicals are you planning to add?

It’s a new pool waiting for concrete to be poured so just using liquid chlorine currently
 
Have you practiced using your test kit to determine the FC, pH, TA, CH in your fill water?

What test kit do you have?
