I just opened my pool yesterday. This is my first time at this . I bought the house with the poolk last November.

It had a lot of leaves, but I kept cleaning it out and dumping in Chlorine as your forum recomends. I ordered the 234 kit last week but did not get it yet so I went out to Wal'mart and bought their $15 de'luxe kit to get some numbers.

I have a 35,000 gal inground vinyl pool. DE filter. I need some help. Please.
Don't know what to do next. Here are my numbers.

Total Cl. 12 ppm
PH 6.5
Total Alkalinity 20 PPM
Total Hardness 70 PPM
CYA 35

Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS

P.S. Should I put any Chlorine tablets in the feeder?
