Starting from scratch (new water)
After I install the new liner (soon) I will have to, for the first time ever, start from scratch with water balance.
Is there a preferred order of operations? ph adjustments, alkalinity, stabilizer, salt, algaecide?
I understand calcium is not really something to monitor for vinyl liner but is any considerationg gived to that at all?
What should I expect? Not using city water.. well its still public utility water but we are rural (it that makes a difference).
I know I'll need approx 730 lbs of salt according to the compupool salt table, assuming 25,000 gallons (I am closer to 28000) but I know its better to underestimate... maybe start closer to 700lbs.
I just want to make sure I get things right from the start with all new water.
Thanks!
