jtran69's New Pool

[jtran69]

My Taylor kit should arrive this weekend and I'll post the test result afterward. Thanks for your quick response!

Here's the water test result from my new Taylor 2006 kit.
FC=5, CC=0.8, TC=5.8
PH=7.2
TA=90
CH=12-
CYA<30

I started using a new Intex .95hp SWGC sand filter since I sold the old setup.
The sand filter is working pretty good so far since I'm learning how to use it.
Please comment on my test result and recommend any weekly dichlor/borax/bleach addition would be wonderful.
Thanks much!

Not too bad, but you need to add dichlor nightly. Your CC is high-ish, and your CYA is still low. You can skip the dose, if the FC is above 10 ppm. But, read the Best Guess page, linked in my blue signature block.

A reasonable dose (4 ppm) would be 1/2 gallon of bleach or 1/2 lb of dichlor.

It`s time to startup the pool for the kids. Pool had been covered over the winter. Is there a link to 'how to start up ...?
