Just finished painting my 36k gal IG concrete pool Saturday morning after buying the house last summer and doing much work to clean and prep. Going to start filling it in a couple days and my source will be city water from the hose. I want to try to get all the products I need to get the pool swim ready in a reasonable amount of time and I wanted to try to minimize the amount of trips to the store since the nearest reliable place to get most of the products is 20 miles round trip. Is there a calculator I can use (or is anyone really good at figuring these things out) that spits out relatively accurate amounts of product needed to reach a desired ppm level for the various readings we are looking for? I'd like to get CYA to 60, TA to 80, CH to 300, and Borate to 50 (is this enough for algae prevention?) How much cal-hypo, baking soda, muriatic acid, borax, stabilizer should I aim for in my first trip? Should I assume 0 ppm on everything out of the hose or is there likely a chance of something already there?
