    Stay on top of it--it only takes a very short time to let algae get started--and you don't want to start your new pool out that way!

    I managed to drop my pH from 8.2 to 7.2, but my alkalinity went up from 250 to 270. Any idea why that is, or what to do to correct? I will retest in the morning, but thought this was curious.

    Since the SWCG is installed, why not go ahead and add salt and turn it on? You don't need to wait for the concrete pour to start using the system.
