    Default Re: Pool is filled, now what do I do?

    Thank you for the vacation advice. I followed it and just returned home to a crystal clear pool that needs to be vacuumed. However, my house sitter didn't put in any bleach for the past 2 days and the Aqua Smarte pack ran out, so my chlorine reading is way down for the first time this week The Taylor K-2006 kit came while I was gone, so I ran the tests this afternoon and this is what I got:

    FC=.6ppm
    CC=0ppm
    pH=8.0 (5 drops of R0005 brought the sample to 7.4)
    TA=240ppm
    Calcium=270ppm
    CYA= <30ppm (I had to fill the tube all the way to the top to make the black dot disappear and there is no number up that far)

    I am ready to get this pool balanced and swim! Any help would be greatly appreciated -- i.e.: what to worry about first? chlorine? pH?

    Thanks,
    Ashley
