Pool doc
Oh no! Start over? The pool is approx. 3700 gallons. The pool finished filling tonight. I have been doing the 7 day start up plan. Have been adding my bleach. My dichlor should arrive from Amazon on Thursday. I had already purchased a 5 way test kit before finding this site. I tested tonight and results as follows
Chlorine=3.0 ppm bromine=6.0 ppm Ph=8.2 Total alkalinity=60 ppm. The test kit is by kokido. They are not strips. I am just going to continue bleach until dichlor arrives. Will not add borax since ph a bit high. ? About alkalinity though. Have to try to salvage water on vacation. We are now on water restrictions here and could not fill up again this summer. So-what's the best plan? Maybe a dumb question-but how do I know if my cya level is good? When it is good?
