Ok, here is my readings from my just-filled pool using our well. No chlorine has been added yet, so here it is fresh from the well:What is your alk? Post current water testing readings and someone here will try and advise you. (use a drops based kit - no test strips.)
TC - 0
TA - 280ppm
PH - 7.2
hardness - 450ppm (yikes!)
I didn't test CYA since I haven't added anything yet and my test kit says it only has enough in it to test it twice. I have the 6 way test kit from WalMart but I don't think I can test for the CC separate from the FC, right? Thanks for your help everyone! Pool store guy said to add a cup of muriatic acid and then shock the pool and then use my tablets in my sanitizer from then on out and still shock once a week. I'd like to use everyone else's method of BBB, so how do I get started? Thanks so much!
