Tap Water Test Results

[rferrel1]

Okay - pool is full - they did not complete the hard plumbing but hooked up some corrugated tubing (holiday weekend and you know - I really do hope the pool guy gets to spend some time at home!) - we're having a few problems with leaks at a couple of the fittings so we're a little hesitant to run the skimmer all night.

Pool is 15 x 30 and says 12,750 gal

This is what they gave me:
2 bags shock - Protech 1# calcium hypochlorite 73% available chlorine
73% says it treats 15,000 gal - ready to swim in 15 minutes (??)
1 bucket CYA - Protech 4# active ingredients 98.5%
1 bucket chlorine tabs - Protech 3"trichloro-s-triazinerione 99%
available chlorine 90%
1 bucket Protech pH Plus - 5# sodium carbonate 100%
6 gal - 6% bleach (my purchase)

I used one of the packages of shock when the pool was about 1/2 full - it was 95degrees today -

Test this afternoon when full with the blue box/Ben's kit -
chlorine 0.5, pH 7.2

I'm GUESSING - I need to put approx 2.5# of the CYA in the skimmer - if we turn it off over night will it hurt for it to sit there - do I need to put it in a sock?

Add the other shock OR how much bleach should I put in. Thanks for your help. Rob

Rob,

Download mwsmith2's "bleachcalc" for your CYA (and many other) computations. Put it into the skimmer and run your filter 24/7...it'll take a few days to dissolve.

sorry - I was not ignoring the advice - just had a little difficulty locating mwsmith2's bleachcalc - found it - downloaded - thanks, think I'm good to go for now!
