I did a quick search through the threads and read the temporary setup article but I didn’t feel it was clear on what I am asking. We live in Texas where it’s INSANELY hot. Already 90 F here. I filled my 10’x30” ready set with inflatable ring and 330 ppm cartridge filter this morning using well water that’s treated with an iron breaker and salt treatment system. We still get a small orange tinge ring in our water in the toilets and showers but it’s subtle and nothing like before we got the treatment system. I am 100% sure the water in our house also runs through the system. I ordered Hrh test strips, bleach, borax, and baking soda. I turned the pump on for 6 hours. It looks crystal clear now but it’s only been full for a few hours. Do I need to test it first? Do I add a floating chlorine puck AND bleach or I just do the bleach? Do I do the bleach before we get in the first time or after? Do I need CYA all the time or just under certain circumstances? Sorry if this is redundant somewhere. I didn’t think it was clear. I gathered I need to add 1/2 a cup of bleach but when? SIDE NOTE: it’s supposed to rain this evening and I don’t have a cover yet. What will this do to everything (since it’s still rainy season). Thanks so much!
