but then the filter bucket sprung a leak so had to shut off filter system. Job was finished on friday and pool was used on sunday. After you have pH, Total Alkalinity and Calcium Hardness where you want it, then you can either A.) add 50 ppm or so cyanuric acid and start up the SWG -OR- B.) don't add CYA, leave the SWG off and use the "desert granules" (I'm assuming these are trichlor or dichlor so you're applying both chlorine and CYA). If you have people already swimming, turn on the pump, add some liquid chlorine so that it registers on your test kit and start balancing the water based on full test results. How long has it been since the replaster job? It's important to keep pH in check, of course. its on now but would bouncing up and down in the pool cause the surface to get "uneven"? I met like 20 people in the pool today and I didn't even get a chance to turn the system on.
