Preparing to open for the 1st time

[JoCoSteve]

I had my above ground pool installed last April and ran the TFP method from day 1. Temps will be in the upper 70’s this week, so thinking about opening soon. I siphoned a little water from under the pool cover and was surprised to find that I still have FC of 10.5! I slammed the pool before I closed in October. PH seems pretty low, but not bad overall. (Temp was from when i tested the water, actual pool temp was about 40). What should I take care of first?

If the pump isn’t running you’ll want to run the pump for 24 hours to ensure the water is mixed prior to testing. CYA test needs to be at room temp for best results.
