Hi all, I am a some what new pool owner. Just moved a 24 x 54 agp to our house from the in-laws (too much for them to take care of). Anyways I've been reading here and decided to go the bbb method. I got my tf100 xl kit with boron test strips. tested every thing.
fc-21
cc-0
tc-21 ( i think)
ph-7.5
t/a-140
ch-120
cya-20-30

now this pool has only been up since 8/8. since then i have added 3 gal of cl (12.5%) and 4lb of cya and one box of borax. I was using strips ( I know) and said ph might be low so i added one box..I was just trying to keep it from getting out of hand before i got the test kit. So since i have no cc what level should i keep the fc at and how long . I think I remember a week for initial shock. Oh yeah i just added the cya yesterday so I know i wont see that come up for a few days. Also want to add the boron, should I wait till i get the cl level up. thanks for any suggestions I know theirs alot of knowledge here
