So I met with my super today and I do feel good about the company I am going with but got some info from him that conflicted with what I have been reading here.
At PS, ( and I know this is a baseline, bare with my OCD for a moment please), it teaches to test main chems daily. My super said that I really only need to test 1x a week because it takes 70something hours of circulation for whatever I added to completely settle in ( my words, something along those lines)...so now just when I starting to feel confidant about how to get my "new" pool off and running the BBB way, I am confused again. Also suggested that to start, I go ahead and put a few pucks in to start the chlorination process and then switch to liquid bleach. He did say he's never done the BBB and seemed very in the know. He took a sample of our tap to get a reading on what to expect when we initially refill as well.
The numbers he gave me as far as the best place to keep things in good order were:
FC 1.5 -2
ALk- 80-120
Ph 7.2 -7.6
calcium 200-400
CYA -20
the CYA he suggested seems pretty off from what I have read here.
Input???
Thanks,
B
