Hello, I'm a new pool owner so I'm still learning the chemistry involved in maintaining a pool. Since I didn't trust myself yet we hired a service to maintain the pool. Just out of curiosity and for my own learning I bought some test strips and I'm concerned about the chlorine levels. Here are some details about the pool:
25k gallons
In ground
Vynyl liner
Hayward pump and DE filter
I used two test strips, one by HTH and the other aquacheck 7.
On the HTH stick:
Free chlorine maxed out 10+ppm
PH 7.5
TA 80
TH 200
CYA 100
On the aquacheck :
Free Chlorine 20
Total chlorine 5
PH 7.5
TA 100
CYA 100
Do these numbers look OK? The pool is clear but I'm worried about too high chlorine. I apologize if I left out any information.
Thank you!
