    also, if you're TA is wrong, as suspected, your pH will rise over time. I think it will rise just from the aeration effects of the SWCG as well
    I wouldn't worry about the pH of 7.1, as long as it doesn't go lower
    And in a vinyl pool, hardness is almost meaningless- wouldn't worry about that one either!
    you do need CYA, or stabilizer, to help the SWCG maintain FC levels- check the SWCG specs, but probably need around 70ppm...

    You need to keep your chlorine level up until your salt water generator kicks in. Everything else you've been told is right on target.

    With an SWCG, our experts tell us you'll be looking to have a fairly low T/A, 60-80 ppm,
    a fairly high CYA, also 60 to 80, and
    to keep your chlorine level at least at 1/20 of your CYA level. So if CYA is 60-80, free chlorine should be 3 to 4 ppm.
