    Default First test of the season, looks pretty good?

    I have the 233 kit. I’m not going to fully open the pool for another 3 weeks or so but the water is starting to get a little over 50 degrees so I figured I should check the levels. I also wanted to get a head start on any leaks or problems I might have. I filled the pool up to the proper level and ran the filter or a couple hours then tested.
    I am surprised how good my numbers look. I thought I would have close to 0 FC so I purchased 12 gallons of bleach. I only needed to use about 2 bottles of it.
    Pool info: 16x32 vinyl, IG, ~22k gal

    FC – 7
    CC - .5
    PH – 7.0 (between 6.8-7.2)
    Alk – 90
    Cal – 80 (doesn’t matter in my pool)
    Cya – just a little over 20

    I shocked the pool so right now my FC=14.5
    I don’t think I’ll totally get rid of the CC until I fully open the pool because I do have some leaves at the bottom of it. I’ll have to raise my PH and CYA a little also.
    Anything else I should do?
