1) Why does the plaster need to be brushed?
To make it smooth and you should start ASAP
2) IF it so important shouldn't I need to start brushing now?
YES
3) Between the equipment start and orientation will be another few days I am sure. So I will not be brushing until after orientation. But can I start adding chlorine and stabilizer to the pool. The current numbres are -
Chlorine Yes but I would not put CYA in the pool itself. It needs to be put into the skimmer with the pump running. It takes a while to dissolve and could damage the bottom of the pool if put in directly. You could dissolve it in a large bucket of water and then mix it into the pool. Use the brush to mix the water until the pump is running.
TC = 0
FC = 0
CC = 0
ph = 7.4
alk = 191
hardness = 144
no metals present although I have a light green tint to the water
I appreciate your help. I would really like to add the stabilizer and chlorine ASAP. Let me know if I can do that before I start brushing (2-3 days before I get my "orientation")
Again, if I were you, I would start brushing today and push all of the dust to the deep end where it does not matter if it is rough
Thanks
John
