:? patience please this is all new to me
pool capacity: 15100gallons
inground - plaster
two way test kit reads pH @ 7.8 to 8.2 / FC @ ? assume at minimum 5 because OTO test is darker orange than color scale on test vial
region: Austin, TX
Sand Filter
Automatic CHLORINE dispenser now set to 1 with TRICLOR
problem is that the test hasnt changed in two weeks at least, the color on the scale is always the same for both pH and Chlorine - two days ago I added 4oz Muriatic Acid although the color on the test looked more crisp and vivid it was still the same outcome - I am reading past post and going with suggestions from PoolCalculator with TFP suggested outcome - I have never done any of this before and hope to use the BBB system. Also do I need to turn the water softener off to add water to the pool? Our water is extremely hard and calcifies everything badly - HELP -
