Had a company open the pool this year, but I maintain myself. I have the full TF test kit and here are my initial readings:
PH - Off the chart
FC - 20
CC - 1
CH - 500
TA - 90-100
CYA - 55
Salt - 2400
The pool company must have added some shock else I am not sure how the FC got to 20. I did find some pucks they put into a floater (maybe in the pool an hour) but I pulled them out and took my sample from the deep end opposite of where it was floating.
I am thinking my next steps are:
- run filter pump non stop
- Add sequestrate (purple stuff) up to appropriate level for iron in well water
- Add acid to bring ph down to 7.2-7.5 and help TA
- SLAM by adding bleach to bring FC up to 24 until SLAM complete
- Bring CYA level up to 70
- Add salt to get to 3400
- Let FC level drift down to 3-5 and then turn on SWG
Does this sound about right or is anything not needed or missing?
Thanks in advance!
