Pool opening levels

[Andrewdgwood]

Hi - I’m still tinkering with the pool as it was just opened. Currently have 1ppm of fc and probably CYA of 30ish. I have to retest as I added 50oz of cya yesterday. I wasn’t losing the dot at all and my pool opening company registered a cya of 17 on his digital meter. Adding the cya slowly as I had to drain my pool 2 years ago due to elevated levels from pucks. i use a SWG now.

I know I need to add more cya and get the fc up. Just wondering if it’s safe to swim with young kids (3 year old) right now? I know there’s definitely at least 1pm of fc using Taylor dpd test.

Thanks

Might want to get the pH in the 7's. Their eyes may be irritated with the high pH.

Otherwise, go swimming.

thanks Mike. You think I’m ok with 1pm FC? CYA is most likely 25 - 35

Maintain FC based on the FC/CYA Levels
