First Test Results

Thanks CarlD for your quick reply!

Got a question for you, where can you buy Muratic Acid?? I was in the pool store this weekend getting some maintenance supplies and I only saw "Dry Acid" as their Ph reducer.

Thanks again!

Home Depot and Lowe's carry it. Might have to check the paint section...
My local WalMart has it in the automotive section. Go figure.....

Hi all,

I found the Muratic Acid at Lowes (thanks aylad) and added 1 quart last night. This morning Ph was 7.6 - 7.8. I also added 4 gal of 6% bleach last night to get to 10ppm.

I also added 4lbs of CYA (1/2 of recommened amount) to up my CYA as it was 0 yesterday.

This afternoon, the pool has a cloudy haze in it. The water is still pretty blue, just cloudy.

Looking at past posts, should I continue to shock daily, to say 15ppm to clear the cloudy water?? Pump has been running 24/7 for last week, since pool was filled.

Thanks!
