Hi Everyone
I'm a newby to the website, but heard this is the place to go if you have a problem. We have a 29,400 gallon inground vinyl pool with automatic cover and automatic chlorinator. We opened the pool two weeks ago and the water looks great, but we can't get a chlorine reading. We have shocked the water about four different times but still not getting a reading. This happened to us last year too, and after many many hundreds in chemicals we ended up draining the pool completely. (Last year there was a high CYA near 100), but we also had a chlorine demand issue. Here are our numbers from the pool store: Tot. Chlorine: 0.3, Free Chlorine: 0, PH: 7.1 - added 20 lbs of balance pak 100 per store to raise, Alkalinity: 61, Hardness 288, CYA: 0, TDS: 500. (P.S. I can't believe the CYA is zero because we use the Chlorine Pucks and I was told the CYA stays in the water, so we should still have it from last year). Any Advice would greatly be appreciated. Thanks Everyone :-D
