Lovin' that pool Steve! Keep it up!
Well, the last step of a baqua conversion is usually a full clean of the filter to get rid of any gunk that may be hiding there.
A full cleaning and recharge will allow you to get a true baseline "clean filter" water pressure reading.
I agree. You've come so far, the last thing you want is to take a step or two backwards by having any residual goo laying around. But to clarify for my own curiosity ... what did you mean above when you said "OCLT was successful. I only lost 1.5 FC? " Passing the OCLT means to lose no more than 1 ppm, so I didn't know if I misunderstood what you were trying to say.
It's not too late to raise it again and do another OCLT. But at least you know and can adjust. Sounds like you are extremely close to having this whole project behind you. Your TFP fan club is watching.
Thanks, Tex I'll post some pics and stats tomorrow...
Steve, you are correct in that once this is all behind you, you can increase CYA to help reduce FC loss. But I would wait until you have completed the "2 consecutive OCLTs" and had a chance to look one more time in that filter. Once you get past those two items, you should be guaranteed to be "goo-free" and can increase CYA as needed for the summer sun. Sound good?
Does sound good! I'm not going to increase CYA at all any time soon...certainly going to wait at least a week or two before I start messing with that...really just trying to plan ahead here is all...
