Refilling pool, need help with start up
I recently bought a house with a pool. I had the water tested and the hardness was through the roof. I drained the pool and started refilling this morning. It has a salt chlorine generatior. 23000 gallons. Inground shotcrete pool, Pebble tec.
How should I start up? What should I add to the water and when? Chlorine? Bleach? Turn off salt system till stabalized?
Anything you can tell me would be great.
Thanks,
Andy

Hi, Andy,
I suggest starting by reading every sticky in the Pool Water and Chlorine forums....particulary this beginners guide http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthread.php?t=1113
Go to the man.'s website of your SWG and use their start up procedures.
Post back with questions.
