Waterbear,

Thanks for the reply. I don't know what the TDS of my fill water is (it's public water though). But I will take it to the pool store next time I go to find out. I will not worry about TDS in the pool though unless I develop a water problem.

The pH is 7.5. I'm also adding bleach later today once I backwash and refill a little. I'm working on removing small amounts of water at a time and refilling to get my CYA between 30-50. It's a cloudy day so as soon as I finish that I'm going to up the bleach some.

Thanks again,
Dianne
