10 long days to go until the hose goes in to start to fill!!
This site has been fantastic, I was almost convinced Simple Blue was the way to go... the shame... the horror...
I have purchased the TF-100 kit and I have tested the fill water:
CL between 1-2
FC 1
CC .5
pH 7.3
TA 120
CH 230
So my strategy for startup using the pool calculator is:
Add stabilizer with a target of 35
Boost up the pH
Then add bleach to get to 5, based on hacing CYA at 35 (even though the CYA test results will not show that immediately)
Monitor the pH for drops from adding CYA
TA and CH seem good to start.
Is there anything I am missing?
I want to keep the CYA low to start since it will still be a couple months for the sun to kick in up here outside of Buffalo.
It seems a lot easier to raise it then lower it!
Thanks in advance for all responses.
