We fired up our pool 30 days ago, BUT did not add the salt because PeebleTEc said to wait one month before doing so.

Yesterday Salt (200lbs) was added about 5PM EST by the pool guy. (I plan on doing the pool myself and have Ben's PS234S kit, but was travelling extensively last 30 days and had to use a pool service)

The salt PPM is 2700 and it has been that way since last night. Filter is set to run 8 hours (7AM -10AM & 4PM to 9PM) at 50% chorination.

When I checked the PH this morning with test strip and Ben's PH test it was high. Still learning to read, but it was over well over 8. Added 1/2 gallon of Muratic acid about 1 hour ago and will check in 3-4 hours.

My question is should I add more salt to get the PPM above 3000? Also, I should say that the pool service also left some chorine tabs in the skimmer also.

Pool is IG 15 X 30 about 13,000 gal.

I also plan on reading much more info on testing and figuring out how to properly use Ben's kit this weekend.

Any other advice is also welcome since Sunday is our first "Pool Party" for our friends.
