I seem to have made a mistake and not titled my last thread. Here is the info. again.

Well, the temps were in the upper 70's up here in NH today so decided to take off the cover and start getting the pool ready for the season. Opening numbers:

FC: 6.2 (without adding any, seemed to have held nicely over the winter)
CC: 0
pH: 7.1
Alkalinity: 20
CYA: 20
Copper: .67

Even though it says to bring FC down before doing so, I added a quart of metal sequestering agent. I figure it is worth it if some gets eaten up and I can add more if needed. Tomorrow I will start to pick up the Alkalinity, which will raise the pH a bit, but I understand with metal issues I want to keep the pH a bit on the low side so hopefully it will come in range as I deal with the alkalinity.

I am also thinking I won't bother to raise the CYA at all as I do like the convenience of the smart sticks and will use those until my CYA gets higher and then convert over to all bleach (I shock with that when needed already) later in the summer if needed.

Does that sound about right or are there things I should do differently?

Thanks for the input.
