new pool just filled with well water

[ScottS]

Hey Jimmy welcome to the site. It may be correct that the HTH test kit only allows about 2 tests possibly 3. I do know that the amount of CYA reagent they give you is about the same size bottle of the yellow and red drops for pH and TC. I wouldn't be concerned yet with measuring the CYA level since you just filled your pool. Wait until you have added some stabilizer before you test it.

Don't concern yourself with the calcium test as it doesn't matter with your vinyl pool.

I highly recommend a test kit from this site. Before I had it I didn't know squat about my water... now I know everything about it and much more than I trust a local pool store to tell me what it contains

If you are going to use pucks which wouldn't be a bad idea for now I would suggest Kmart since they sell trichlor tabs withOUT copper. The HTH tabs from WalMart do have copper in them which is not really something you want to add to your water.

I too filled with well water and we are from the same area. I haven't had any problems with the water causing issues.


take care man!
