Opened pool 12 days ago. It was green as a pond. Held it at shock level till pool was clear. At about 6 days in it was blue but cloudy so I treated it with 20 oz of Polyquat. It cleared up in about 2 days. Since then I let it lower to around 6 pmm. I have had to add 1 gallon of bleach a day to maintain it. I also added salt as I was thinking about getting a SWCG and read on a thread that you could have salt water even if you do not use a generator for the feel of softer water. I added about 150 pounds.

PH 7.2
Alk 75
CYA 55
100 cal

I know my PH and Alk is low. How should I fix that and when? Do I wait till I get my chlorine fixed?


Thanks for any help
