    Good call!!
    I missed that in the SWCG manual. It says for startup I need to add 3.1# of CYA, with 10ppm a minimum, 100ppm maximum and an ideal range being 30-50ppm. Seems Wal-Mart would be the best place to get that, so I'll swing by after dinner. I've read to just put it in a sock and hang it directly in front of the strainer (outlet to pump), correct?

    Should I set the pump to run for another 24 hour timespan?

    Walmart may have stabilizer; get some bleach while your're there. That SWCG is marginally sized, and works best when everything is OK, with light swimmer loads. You probably ought to put a gallon of plain 6% bleach in the pool, just to clean the people goo from yesterday's swimming.

    Sock goes in front of line where water comes back INTO pool.
