Old Pool to a New Owner

[TonyIsSocial]

How often should I be testing the water?

Added 6 gallons of bleach Friday

Right now:
3.9 FC
0.2 CC
CYA 54
4 drops R-005 for ph 7.7
Volume 14,000

So with these results it looks like my chlorine level is ok but I need to lower my ph by adding 2qts of Muriatic Acid?

Adding 6 gallons in your pool all at one time raises the chlorine level by 35ppm!

A better plan until you get a feel for your pool's behavior, is to take 5 minutes and test every evening. Also, with a CYA of 54 (how did you get that number?), your chlorine is on the low end of acceptable. (Take a look at the Best Guess Chlorine Chart in my signature below.)

What was your actual pH (before the R-005)?
