well, other than that little mishap the other day with the new sandfilter shooting sand in my pool :shock: ive had 0 problems with my pool. here is my latest results as of 9 am today

pH - 7.6 (ranges from 7.6-7.8 daily without me doing anything) :mrgreen:

FC - 3.5 (adding ~50 - 55oz of 8% daily to keep running pool around 9)

CC - zero every morning :party:

CYA - 90 ( a little high i know, but pool is in full sun all day, and i plan on draining a bit in a week or so to put in hayward skimmer, so that will come down some when i refill)

CH - 70

TA - 100

i get up and test this pool every morning religously about 830-900 am with my K-2006 kit for FC, CC, and pH. i test every sunday for TA. today was first CH test. my pump runs 6 hours coming on at 8. i test, and add chemicals for the day.

pool is crystal clear.

do you guys test / add chem in morning or evening? or does it matter?

also, my TA has held solid 100 for near two weeks. thinking if it is 100 next sunday, i may start testing it every other week rather than weekly.

ill probably do CH test monthly

i realize what im doing is working, just curious.
