New pool chlorine questions

[chili]

And to answer your question the water looks great
but it is still really cold

There are smart sticks in the skimmer but they are dissolving really really slowly

maybe because of the temperature thanks

Hi, Kevin,

I saw your new thread you started. It's helpful to stay with the original thread so folks can follow your progress better.

Okay, 0 CYA means you need some . I'd recommend putting in enough to get to 30ppm...5 or 6 lbs should do it. Do not expect it to show up on a test for 4-7 days. Put it in as soon as you can.

That 4 gallons of bleach will "shock" your pool and probably disappear the next day. After that, I'd bring my Cl level up to about 3-5ppm each evening. That level will start to hold as your CYA kicks in. After that, you're good to go. (especially if you "kick out" that cartridge!! )
