Once starting up and getting the water adjusted I have had very little changes in water chemistry. My ph remains constant at 7.6, the chlorine fluctuates with use and sunny days pretty much as is to be expected, and alkalinity is hanging tight at 80. I have not tested ch that much because of the lack of a swg or heater and vinyl pool but it stays pretty much the same (can't remember the # right now it is written down though). Stabilizer is at 30 currently. Even the temp of the water is staying right at 84-86 degrees all the time.
    I guess my question is should I be worried or am I just very fortunate so far? I was expecting a nightmare of chemical adding and so forth. I am becoming concerned that the testing I am doing is not telling me everything I need to know and a sleeping giant is hiding in this pool somewhere.
    Thanks for all your help so far.
    If your test are consistent and look as good as you say and your water looks crystal clear, then there is only one more test that could be done.
    Jump in and tell us how it feels!
    Seriously though, I know what you mean. You were expecting a lot of work and adjustment. It sounds like you, like myself, found this forum early enough to avoid trouble on the front end. Congratulations and enjoy.
