Already filled our pool...what now?

If you are going to get a Taylor K2006 . . . you should be fine to simply follow the recipe till then.

So long as you maintain chlorine levels, you're unlikely to have problems.

One caution: when you get the K2006, do NOT read the manual, and then feel the urge to start 'fixing' things. The worst feature of the K2006 is the manual, which is very much old-school pool chemistry. If you have adequate chlorine, and your pH is between 7.2 and 8.0 -- you're OK. Post test results, and we'll see if if anything needs to be adjusted, but do not worry about it otherwise.

Thanks, PoolDoc. I kept up with the nightly routine of dichlor & borax and the readings remained consistent throughout the week. The K2006 arrived today, and I have my first results to post:

FC: 8.0 ppm
CC: 0.2 ppm
pH: 7.8
TA: 140 ppm
CH: 250 ppm
CYA: 35 ppm

How do you recommend I proceed from here?

[PoolDoc]

Might want to ease off a bit on the borax, and let the pH drop some.

But generally, you're fine.
