Intex pool opening after long winter

Well here is another season looking to get a head start, and what better place to come and say HI and get great advise.

Thru poolforum.com i closed my pool last winter lower the water below the skimmer and added bleach to maintain the whole winter and covered. I removed the cover last week water was crystal clear. so i began to refill the pool follow the Simple Recipe start up by PoolDoc. A must read and procedure for all intex owners.

Here are my reading completing the 7 day procedure using a Taylor K-2006C after 3 pounds of Leslie Chlor Brite.

FC - 42.50
CC - 0
PH - 7.2 (Originally this was way over 8.0 because wifey added 3 cups of borax instead of 3/4 cup of borax)( i used Kleen Muratic Acid that i bought in Home Depot to lower the PH but as you can see also dropped the TA)
TA - 30
CH - 60
CYA - 90

The Water is super clear, I know the FC will drop in due time i am waiting on my levels to be right before i add the salt.
Should i use Baking Soda or Soda Ash to raise the TA. I am scared to raise the PH as i feel it is unstable for some reason.
Should i be concerned about the CH.

Hope to hear from everyone.

This has been resolved.

Good! How is the water now?

Hi Formerbromineuser,

The water is crystal clear, the FC has been dropping very little since the last time i posted i am at 25ppm compared to 42ppm, as it travels down I continue to monitor the PH and TA. I have been checking the water via K-2006 my PH has balanced out to 7.6 and my TA has raised to 60. I think my high chlorine was supplying false reading. My CYA is a bit high at 90, but that will lower as soon as the children begin to swim and i lose water due to evaporation and spillage.

Thanks for asking, I love this forum.

Glad to hear everything is going well. I love the forum too!!!!
