Hi all,
Been following along here and attending Pool School over the winter to get up to speed on my (new to me) AGP. I moved the pump/filter away from the edge of the pool (30ft.) and just filled up past the return and skimmer today. Ran the pump for ~2 hours to mix thoroughly. Here are my results:
FC: 1.0
CC: 0.0
pH: Somewhere below 6.8
TA: Test never turned blue. Stayed red so couldn't record a number.
CH: 250
CYA: 120
I tried the initial CYA test and it was way over the mark, so filled bottle with 1/2 pool and 1/2 tap. Poured it off and then retested ( multiply x2) to get the 120.
The previous owner used 3" pucks and had the pool store test so I'm not terribly surprised at the CYA number. I figure I will need to drain off some water and refill to get the CYA to normal.
Not knowing any better, I bought one of those winter floaty thingys to help while it was covered this past winter.
Looking for advice on next steps.
Cheers
Jim
