If you have a fresh fill, you might want to use our Super Simple Startup Recipe. More info about that here: http://pool9.net/sspool-info/
Did you order a Taylor K2006? If so, good for you! You will be so glad to have it.

@mayberry: please don't post in 'mobi-speak' -- no punctuation, capitals or spacing -- it's hard for us to read, and disrespects the effort we put into this. Mobile devices are convenient, but not convenient for us, when users here post in that manner.

Oops! Sorry for pasting the wrong link.
Re: starting over
Sorry I mean no disrespect. Check my pool levels with my cheap 2 way kit cl is about 3 ph is 7.2 I will jump the ph a bit tomorrow and hope the cl holds. I am using the guide that is posted
Re: starting over
You may raise the pH, but anything between 7 and 8 is OK.

Re: starting over

Re: starting over
7.5 is fine.
No idea about cloudiness -- what is your chlorine level?
Even a brief period with low chlorine will result in cloudiness, ESPECIALLY if the pool is being used.
Re: starting over
cl is at 5 tonight i guess it wasn't cloudiness just not sparkling water, it is getting better.Now it appears I may have a leak some where any tips on finding them ?

Re: starting over
As they say, "if it wasn't for bad luck, you'd have no luck atall!"
With an AG pool, the obvious first step is to go over the outside of the pool carefully. Once you've eliminate the bits you can see, all that's left is the floor!
Unfortunately, that's harder. You almost have to have SCUBA: the process of diving down stirs the water so much that you can't follow the dye currents. Here's a video of me leak checking a skimmer throat (pump off, of course): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y90c7pYMgPc
