Re: How much CYA to put into new pool
Oh, slowly... yeah I dumped half a cup right in. The pump cleared after about 10 minutes.
Tested today:
PH 7.8 (not sure how I got 7.2 the other day, I tested it twice and got 7.8 today)
CYA >30 but barely. I guess 30 will be my future target since I can't read much beyond it. I'm sure with splashing out water and having to top it off the level will drop slowly to 30. Only get 4 tests with the minuscule amount of testing liquid!
FC 4 (using 10ml and .5ppm multiplyer)
CC 0 Testing chlorine looked intimidating until I actually tried it. My son interrupted me during the FC drop test & I lost count, but it's always easier the 2nd try. I couldn't get every single white chunk to dissolve but the test seemed to perform well anyway.
TEMP- 68 degrees brrrr
-8200 gallon 20' x 4' (3.5' really) Intex Ultra Frame. Well water w/high alkalinity.
-"A" filter cartridge, surface skimmer. I spray the A filter every 2 days when I check the chlorine. I only use bleach (3-6), muriatic acid (to knock down ph & alkalinity), and stabilizer (cya 50).
