Currently, our pool equipment is hooked up to the dreaded Ecosmarte copper system, installed by the home's previous owner. I haven't turned on the system at all, we purchased the house in October. We would like to switch over, preferably to a SWG. I have the Taylor TF-100 and the Taylor 1730 Copper test kits and my readings are as follows:
TA: 190
CYA: 0
PH: 7.7
CH: 525
FC: 0
Copper: Between 0.15 and 0.3
Honestly I'm just not really sure where to start, I'm a little overwhelmed. I'm concerned about the high CH and TA. I know that in order to lower CH we probably have to drain some of the pool and refill, we have well water and I'm not sure exactly how hard the water is, and I've read about liner shrinkage when you drain, etc., we really just don't know what we're doing. I'm not even sure what question I have here, but any advice would be appreciated for the newb.
