    Question First test results

    Pool builder finally came and added stabilizer. After running pump/filter 4 hours I did initial tests.
    FC 3
    CC 1
    pH 7.2
    Alk 110
    Cal 170
    Cya 48
    salt 3,200

    pool temp 80

    Since the Cya was just added , I am believing that it will rise some in the next few days? I was told not to clean the filter for 3 days so all the CYA is mixed in.

    And the pH is on the low side. Should I wait until the Cya is completely dissolved before making any adjustsment? Or should I make any at all?

    Will the CC go to zero once the Cya is up to snuf?

    I swam for the first time today and the water is quite salty. Will this diminish as the water level drops(splashing out) and we add more, or rain? I think I would prefer the salt closer to the 2500 level.

    One other thing-was this an error on my part or is this supposed to happen? When testing the Cal, there was a precipitate the same color as the water, just darker, swirling around the test container.

    Any advise on the numbers is greatly appreciated.
