Full Day 2 for my new setup and filling. Salt was added the first night (sunday night) and the first dichlor /borax batch added the last two nights. Had less then 0.5 chlorine reading last night. Added nightly dose dichlor/borax mix and ran pump for 6.5 hrs overnight. This morning water readings are as followed:
CL=5
pH=7.5
Alkalinity=70ppm
Total Hardness=100ppm
CYA=filled tube to 30ppm and black dot faded but I could still see it. Not sure what to do about this?
Chlorine reading of 5.....Is that to high? I am using test kit "HTH 6-way" from Walmart, and the test guide says chlorine should be between 1-4 ppm.
Will this eventually lower on its own during day?
With CL reading of 5, should I still dichlor/borax nightly after SWCG is hooked up? Should I test the CL in the evening prior to adding the nightly dichlor/borax mix?
Pool will be sitting in full sunlight most of the day. No swimmers in it yet, still a little to cold at 60 degrees.
Planning on turning on salt water chlorine generator tonight and running along side filter/pump.
Thanks in advance again for your input.
