I am new to the forum and a new pool owner. 16'x38' vinyl inground in Pennsylvania. Had it installed last fall and it is now open for the year. Being a new owner, I am new to the chemistry and maintenance. My water test results are as follows:
FC=8.5
CC=0
TA=100
CYA=40
CH=100
pH=7.0
How do these results look?
Initially for the first week my FC was hanging around 11 and did not seem to be lowering, but todays test indicates it is indeed dropping into normal range. I have an inline Hayward chlorine feeder that I use 3" pucks in. If my chlorine level gets higher should I turn this off or not add the chlorine disks? Currently I have been adding 4 per week. I did not put any in this week as the level was high, but now that it is lowering I will ad some more pucks. Was not adding them the correct thing to do?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions/help and I look forward to more poking around the site!
