Hi All,
Been lurking here for a while and have some questions. Im a new pool owner- bought a house with a pool and have been in the new place for about a week.
I used the TF-100 kit like everyone suggests and below are my results:
Cl- .5
Ph-7.2
CC-1
Ch -175ppm
TA - 80
CYA - 90
I know my CYA is high - the previous owner was using tablets. I guess my next step is to drop the water level by a foot, add lots of bleach??
I was trying to use the pool math calculator but was overwhelmed and confused by how much baking soda and bleach it was saying to add. I also don't know exactly how big my pool is. its 20x40 with a shallow and deep end and with diagonal corners. So I was assuming 35,000 gallons...
PLease help with next steps....want to make sure I am doing this right.
Thanks all!
Mike
