First time opening pool since joining this forum

Hi all, Spring is taking forever to warm up here is Wisconsin and I'm finally able to open my pool. Last year I learned more from this forum than I did in the previous 20 years of pool ownership. Because I want to break more of all the bad habits I had pre-forum, I wanted to get your advice on pool opening chemical balancing. I tested the water and have the following
PH = 8+
TA = 110
Hardness = 150
CYA = 0

If I've learned anything, I believe the first things I need to get a handle on are the CYA and PH. Am I correct? Thanks

That is correct. Do you have any FC/CC readings?

Hi, I forgot the FC/CC readings. They are both at zero.

Well, CC of zero is great; FC not so much. What have you done so far? I hope you got the FC to 2ppm.

All I've done so far is
skim the pool of winter debris

I would not wait any longer to get some chlorine in there. Do it ASAP. Do you remember quantities and stuff? Do you have some CYA you can start adding?

Just in case, for now add ABOUT 16 oz of 31.45% MA or equivalent. Add a little over 1/2 gallon 8.25% bleach or equivalent. Then test about a half hour or hour later and see where you are. Let us know what type of CYA you have and we can figure out quantities. You don't want to overshoot your goal.

I bought some HTH granular conditioner that is 96% cyanuric acid. The package calls for 4 lbs for a 20,000 gallon pool to get a reading of 20ppm. I've added the chlorine and some muriatic acid as well to start bringing the PH down. I'll test in a half hour to see what reading we have.

While you're waiting, how does your water look? Is it clear?

Water is green and cloudy
