Pool just opened, awaiting on testing kit, questions on what to do now

[pool1]

Funny indeed - I guess if I didn't make a fateful decision 20 yrs ago to move over here - I may have been one of the "Vlads" spamming :-]

Thanks for the good words re: the service company, they actually were very efficient. It's just the Biolab branding and obfuscation really gets on my nerves. I am the guy that always reads the labels :-)

I will get CYA history, as well as the test done. Already ordered the 2006C kit.

So I will start to gradually add borax over the next 2 to 3 days, and will add 15 gallons of 6% bleach in an hour or so and will monitor CC and FC through the evening, and then check in the morning.

Thank you! Your help is greatly appreciated!
