New pool owner and I am going through the warranty documents on my Thursday Pool. Here is what is in their doc:
Chlorine Residual — 1.0 to 3.0 ppm
pH Level - 7.2 to 7.6
Total Alkalinity — 80 to 120 ppm
Calcium Hardness — 200 to 400 ppm
Cyanuric Acid (chlorine stabilizer) 30 to 50 ppm
Metals —0 ppm
TDS- Less than 1500 ppm
SI -Saturation Index — (-0.3 to +0.3) Ideal is O. (If you have a salt system, your saturation index should be between (-0.2 to 0.2) to account for the additional corrosive characteristics of salt.)
Salt -2700 to 3400 ppm (Only necessary if using a salt generator.)
My first question is Chlorine Residual the same as FC? The numbers are lower than what is recommended by TFP. I assume since CYA is recommended to be 70-80 by TFP that it would lead to the higher FC recommendation of 5-6?
Here is what I come up with for TFA recommendations for Fiberglass with a SWG:
FC: 5-6
PH: 7.6-7.8
TA: 60-80
CH: 350-550
CYA: 70-80
I have no doubt that I am going to stick with the TFP recommendations. I have ordered my TF-100 kit. I just want to make sure I am understanding everything correctly and not doing anything that might void my warranty. My wife will tell you that I over think everything.
Thanks,
