    According to that chart I think it would be between 6 & 9 best I can remember. I check it this afternoon before coming to work. It was pretty close to the 5 may have been a little darker than the 5. Any advice on what I should do tonight.

    Ok it's been 6 days since initial fill. I started the SWCG yesterday. I took samples before it started for today. Here are my readings:
    Cl 1-2
    pH 8.8
    Alk 140
    Hard 40
    CYA Black dot not disappearing with full tube.
    Any advice on how to proceed.
    Thanks

    You need to check your SWCG manual and see what the requirement is for the CYA and raise it to that level for your unit to function properly.

    Your pH is way too high. Use some muriatic acid to lower it some. Please read this first:> http://pool9.net/muriatic/

    A dose of dichlor would help CYA correct ?

    Yes. For every 10ppm of chlorine that dichlor adds, it also increases the CYA by about 9ppm.
