    Default Intex 20' Ultra Frame (already filled and running)

    For Memorial weekend I put up a new, then found this forum so I'm kind of late to the party.

    Here is where I stand:
    Intex 20' dia x 52" deep Ultra Frame (8638.0gal)
    Intex Sand Filter and pump #SF15110 1600gal ph
    Intex SWCG #CS8110

    Pool has been running per installation instructions for a week now, after reading some posts here I ran out and got a test kit.

    HTH 6-way test kit results
    Chlorine: 2 ppm
    Bromine: 4 ppm
    Alkalinity: 230 ppm
    PH: 7.5
    Hardness: 200
    CYA: unmeasureable, I can see the black dot all the way to the top.

    So Alkalinity is off the charts and CYA no where to be seen, seeing as I missed the whole setup before, what would you guys recommend to get started on the right track?

    Don't worry about Bromine - unless you've put bromine in the pool.
    Check out: http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...-routine-care.
    We can talk about reducing the Alkalinity after you get a handle on the chlorine sanitization.
    The HTH 6-way is good to start but my K-2006 is the best pool spend I've made.
