With a cya of 60, you need to keep your chlorine between 5-10. Also, I would bump the ph up just a little to 7.4-7.6 and the alk up just a little to 80-125.

Thanks Watermom!
As always in the spring, my pool knowledge gets a bit rusty....I need to spend some time reading all the posts to get my poolsmarts up again.

I'll add more chlorine...I knew it was low for that cya level.
I'll also add some borax for the ph.
If I remember correctly, I think I add baking soda for the alk. Am I correct?

I'm not too concerned yet....there are still a few leaves in the pool along with the regular amount of dirt from a winter's worth of wind, etc.

I'll hook up the filter in a few weeks and really get things going....I will add the needed stuff though so it stays as nice and clear as it is now.

Thanks!!

Yes - baking soda raises alk.
