New pool installed and filled with water - Now what?

[BigDave]

If you're OK with that SWCG then great! Just a warning about copper. Maybe it was from before Intex added the copper ionizer feature.
Perhaps the green is from the fill water. Was the pool fill water treated the same way as the household water? Is the inside of your toilet tank discolored?
You'll need stabilizer in your pool, you can add it as CYA granules (in an old sock in front of the return) or you can manually dose with dichlor for a while - your choice.
Sorry I didn't notice that you'd already ordered the K-2006. Good choice, I love mine.
Pick up an OTO kit so you can measure chlorine and pH while waiting for your K-2006.

Yeah I don't know. I have heard other reports about the green tinting from the system. It always puzzled me. I'm just really glad I don't have the problem. I really like the system.

Yup at store now. I have an drop based hth kit here for $22. Looks okay. Will try it. Got the bleach. I will look for something to use as a stabilizer.
Thanks!

[BigDave]

What store are you at? Be careful, some dichlor and trichlor are being mixed with copper and such - I'd stay away.

[Firstpool]

Really! Thanks!
At Walmart. Any thoughts on what to look for?

[BigDave]

Wall Mart is one of the stores that's been selling copper added stabilized chlorine. If you can find CYA granules also called stabilizer or conditioner. Somtimes stabilizer is available pre-dissolved as liquid conditioner or stabilizer. The cemical you want is Cyanuric Acid or Isocyanuric acid.

No luck here. Not seeing anything.

[BigDave]

Pool store then, we'll figure it out. No Problem.

[Firstpool]

Found something.
Hgh stabilizer and conditioner.
Ingrediants:
Cyanuric acid - 96%
Inert ingrediants - 4%

Thoughts?

[BigDave]

That'll do.
