7/16 Test numbers and notes:
Hello thanks for reading.
FC 4.5, CC 0.5, TC 5.0, PH 7.4, TA 85, CH 375
Did some changes to the returns and the suction setting (skimmer/main adjustments). Also found out the pool heater works!!!
I went with larger holed returns on some of the secondary returns and it dropped the total system pressure as measured on the filter. It dropped the system psi about 2.5 PSI total. I also adjusted the valves to get better skimmer action, and still provide some water from the bottom of the pool.
I've increased my pump run time to 7 hours and SWCG is at 60%.
I haven't had to add any MA this week. PH is climbing ever so slow. Finally! This week it's a little above 7.4, but well below 7.6. I'll add some MA when it gets to 7.8 or so and knock it down to 7.5 ish. I figured the acid demand total I needed per drop on the Taylor test. 1 drop equals 15.64 ounces for a 17K gallon pool. I'll just use 16 ounces per drop. Close enough.
I'm really disliking leaves but it does provide some nice shade. I skim daily, brush every couple days and run Roobie every 2-3 days.
This site is addictive. Thanks for all the encouragement and help. Hope this post helps others.
