My first pool opening. Pulled mesh cover, ran robot twice, and have 5 pucks trichlor floating until turn on SWG. Other than water only 52, it's basically swim ready. So thank you everyone for your expertise, advice, tips, and tricks.

I'm sure CYA much below 50 it was in fall at close. Will check full chem levels on Sunday and adjust accordingly (salt and Borax). But for CYA, assume I account for the 5 pucks... Do I then continue using trichlor or just add powder at that point to bring me to level (PoolMath = 70 target)?

You can use pucks for a while, sure. Once you get to that 60-70 range, I'd back off and stick to the SWG.

Welcome back to another season.

Yep, I was targeting consistent 65 temp minimum before turn on the cell. Then consistent 70-75 before hit the heater.

I just need baseline CYA and then use appropriate total pucks to target; then start hitting the chlor reserves (and have wally send me more cases)
