Took over with TFP - am I on the right track?

[karynkjd]

Tested today after instructions from here yesterday as a result of pool company handling chemicals for first month as part of warranty.

Here is where I am out - keep in mind I'm swg.

August 1
FC 3.5ppm
CC 0.5ppm
Total chlorine 4.0ppm
CH100ppm
TA 80
CYA 45

CYA needs to be at 70- 80 for a SWG.

It takes up to a week to register right and just added yesterday so I thought getting up to 45 by today was progress should I do more?

did you measure and only add a specific amount with a target CYA in mind?

I did the calculation on Pool Math and it was around 110 oz into skimmer in sock. It still isn't going up...

Do I have to increase the CH also? Going to test again tonight after running the SWG full time for three days and see if the salt went down and where the chlorine is at this point. Supposedly the PB came over yesterday to look at the pool/salt generator. He said the pool had too much salt. hey thanks Captain Obvious, you're the only ones who put salt in. He claims no issue with equipment so - will update tonight. Took some ideas from sunbaby and made a little notebook with reminders and what to use on pool.

Wish me luck

Vinyl pool doesn't need Calcium since there's no plaster to etch. If you see foaming above the returns, raising CH should stop it, but it's not harmful, just annoying. CH will naturally rise with evaporation, too.

Salt will only go down by splashout or replacement. If the SWG isn't showing warning lights, leave it alone. If it's happy with the salt level, you should be, too.

Just assume the CYA you added is there and target FC accordingly. Test it again next week and see where you ended up.

Sounds like a good plan. Thank you so much. The pool is clear for sure just not crystal clear so maybe as the cya rises it will inprove
