Hi,
First post. I'm sure this info has been posted many times before, but still trying to read up on this forum.
So I'm currently refilling my pool from tap, and was wondering where to start chemistry-wise? I have a test kit on order, and in the meantime have some of the aqua chek 7 way test strips...but assuming the FC/CC/CYA are all zero, should I try to add CYA and then shock my pool first? Or should I try to make sure the pH/TA levels are stable first? Do you adjust one chemical at a time, or is it okay to (for instance) adjust CYA and TA at the same time (if needed)? Thanks!
