Hello!!

We just refilled our 16' x 24' x 48" AGP after draining, releveling, installing a new liner and building a deck. Now, I did pretty good last year with it but of course I have forgotten most of what I learned last year. I tested my water this morning with the exception of the CYA since I am going to have to obtain some more of the reagent. Here are my levels after testing this morning...

TC = less than .5
pH = 7.2
Alk = 55 ppm
Hardness = 90 ppm

Of course we just refilled it, so this is what I have done so far...

1. When the pool was halfway full, I added 3 gallons of bleach (6%)
2. When it finished filling this morning and was high enough to reach the skimmer, I started the pump and filter.
3. Immediately added 3 lbs of stabilizer and 4 1/2 gallons of bleach (6%)

I guess my questions is what are the optimum amounts for each test? I know I will have to test for CYA but since I just refilled I figured it was definitely going to need some so I added it and will get more reagent and test after 48 hours.
