Pristine water at opening

[deerocks]

First time pool owner last summer, first closing in October, opened this week, upstate NY. Today in for 1 st time. Our weather is 95! My water looks pristine following TFP methods, no pool store chemicals. Salt was low 1200, ideal for my 13,5000 gallon pool is 3200. Added 5 bags of salt today. Turned on SWG and its running. Chlorine is at 4 ppm, CYA is 50. I guess right now I’ll just keep testing the salt. When I opened the pool, I had for 4 ppm Chlorine so I guess I did good. Using the Taylor kit for testing.
Question I am using regular store bought 6% bleach not splash less, this is correct?

Correct! Just the plain old regular stuff. Congrats on a successful opening. Someone looks happy in that pic.

Is your CYA a little low ?
60 is the min for a swg pool with 70-80 ideal range

Just tested with TF 100 kit after a 90 degree Weekend. Salt is 3200ppn, CYA is between 40 and 50, Chlorine drop 4, PH is 7.2. Should I add more stabilizer ? Chlorine hasn’t moved from 4 even with SWG on.

round your CYA up, so it would be 50
I would add enough CYA to get to 70
For 70 your chlorine should be about 5
right now your running at the min for chlorine, when warmer weather gets here your risking an algae outbreak
