waiting for aquarite...

[BND]

Switching issue aside for now.
Pool has been drained and refilled (about 80 %)
TDS 1900
Salinity 1400
CYA 0
TA 150-190
Calcium hardness 220
ph 7.6-7.7
phosphates 200
what should be my first step?
Pool is 13,050 gallons

For an outdoor pool, increase cyanuric acid to 60 - 80 ppm, which would be about 8 lbs for your pool, to get to about 75 ppm.
Alkalinity is a bit high, but not bad. Direct your return jets up towards the top of the water to aerate. Lower the pH to about 7.2 to 7.4 in conjunction with aeration and the Alkalinity will lower within a few days.
New pools usually require constant testing and adjusting of the pH so keep an eye on this.

Add salt to get to the Aquarite recommended level. To get to 3000 ppm, you will need about 160 - 170 lbs of salt. I'd recommend adding about 150 lbs, let it circulate for a few hours, then see what the unit displays as your salt level. Let it run overnight and retest the following day and add more salt if needed.

Sit back, and enjoy your pool!

Thanks for selecting a salt system for your pool.

Going to try to finsih this up in the next day or two.
I didnt see anything in the manual about a speciffic length of the pipe i should cut out to maintain the best fit ( for the turbo cell).
My thought was to connect the unions to the cell then hold the cell along the pipe i intend to cut and try to mark on the pipe the spots i need to cut.
But if some one could say.."cut out exactly 14.5 inches ", that would help...
