Hey all
We just got a 7300 gallon pool installed, and I'm the kind of guy that likes to know the numbers myself as opposed to relying on the pool store to tell me what's up. So, I bought me the Taylor K-2006 kit, and I just ran the numbers...
FC: .4ppm
CC: .2ppm
pH: 7.5-7.6
Alk: 110ppm
CH: 200ppm
CA: somewhere between 60ppm and 70ppm (I tested it twice)
We got some rain today, but the bigger issue is that they loaded the pool with way too much chlorine out of the starting gate. It wasn't even on the charts, so we've been slowly adding ChemOut over the last couple of days with the chlorinator off. Looks like we got the chlorine WAY down and it's time to start it up again. FWIW, this pool also has an ozonator.
Anyway, I'm glad I found this place and I'm looking forward to learning how to maintain my own pool! Any thoughts about today's readings would be much appreciated!
