We're proud new owners of an Intex AGP 18x9x52 and have recently completed the set-up and first fill with city water. We couldn't have done it without TFP!! I've done an immense amount of reading of the entire Pool School material and lots of forum dialogues so I think I have a pretty good understanding of what we need to do next, but would love some feedback. Full disclosure, I haven't gotten into the PoolMath app yet, so could use quantity advice for sure.
I did get the TF-100 test kit and we tested the water yesterday evening. Here are the stats:
Free Chlorine - .5ppm
Combined Chloramine - 1ppm
Total Chlorine - 1.5ppm
Calcium - 75ppm
Ph 8.2
TA - 50
CYA - 0
I'm headed to Home Depot or Walmart where I can get the liquid chlorine we obviously need. Walmart also have stabilizer in the form of this: Clorox Pool & Spa Chlorine Stabilizer, Balance - 4lb. (This from a Google search for cyanuric acid). Is this OK?
Any further help on quantities needed for our size pool would be appreciated. I've read the TFP instructions for adding both chemicals.
Anything else I should know or do? All help is most sincerely appreciated since this is our first pool experience!
