Hi All,
It's been a while since I posted last. We ripped out our old vinyl pool had a new pool completed the 11/23/11 (The day before Thanksgiving) ~ I will post construction pics and video in another thread and the story of how I ended up having to balance the pool myself versus the contractor handing me over a pool with the water balanced.
I have a TF-100 kit I purchase in summer 2010 which some of the reagents are probably expired. I will be purchasing another kit today. Using that kit and a new Taylor K-1000 and measure the following:
FC: 0
CC: 0
TC: 0
pH: 7.8
T/A: 80
CH: 200+
CYA: 0
I am running to Home Depot next to pick-up more chlorine. The SWG is not generating chlorine because of the water temp. is 49*F. In the past two weeks I have added six gallons of Chlorine and the level drops like it's a HOT day in July.
Please advise where I should start. Should I work on getting my other levels up first?
The PebbleSheen contractor was here yesterday to fix some issues in the notched rock work he did and saw some scaling on the sheen walls already (it is a Onyx Black sheen so scaling is very easily noticeable.) He asked where my pH level was and said I need to keep it on the lower end around 7.2. So I need to work on getting that down too.
I look forward to hearing from you guys!
