New pool and trying to balance the water.

Okay I will give it a try. I did the chlorine and the borax this evening. When you say to continue adding the bleach doses, does that mean the 4 gallons of 6% bleach at night, or if its below 12 in the am I just need to bring the levels up to 12 ppm?

Thanks for the help.

You can keep it simple, by adding 4 gallons each time (while you're still doing clean up), but skipping if your PM chlorine is > 6 ppm.

Okay. I am not sure if it makes a difference but it has been raining pretty steady the last few days. Do I still treat the pool or wait till the rain stops. This morning when I checked the water the FC= .5 and the CC= .5.

Treat the pool or it will turn green!

What does PF=>6.5 in your signature mean?

Not sure what it means. I don't think I put it there. Thanks for your help.
