Hello everyone, first time poster. Have been having a lot of issues getting the water set up, this is all new water after a new vinyl liner was installed. Two truck loads 5,500 gallons each were well water, the rest we filled with our hose which is also well water. The pool is really clear, but we are using a lot of chlorine daily. I just ran tests with the Taylor k-2006 kit.
Free chlorine - 0 / 4.2 ppm*
Combined Chlorine 0 / 0*
Ph - 7.8
Total Alkalinity - 275
Calcium Hardness - 475
CYA - 0
I'm assuming the CYA is zero, the water never turned cloudy during the test.
*** I have two separate values for the chlorine. The first test was ran after adding 1 gallon on liquid chlorine yesterday. The second was about 30 minutes after adding 1 gallon today.
Thanks for your help.
