Hi all, I've been creeping around the forums for better than a year now. In the past three years I've used pristine blue in our pool and this year I'm making the switch. I received my test kit (k-2006) three days ago, opened the pool, topped it off with 14" of fresh water) and started testing and adding per the pool calculator. My test results are as follows
day 1
fc-0, cc-0, ph-7.4, Ta-70
ch-120, cya-10, si-0.6
water was clear, but bottom had a film
I added 60 oz 8.3% bleach
day 2
fc-0.5, cc-0.5, ph-7.4, ta-80
ch-130, cya-10,
my son had brushed the bottom so now water was a little cloudy
added 50 oz 8.3% bleach and 32 oz stabilizer
day 3
fc-0.5, cc-0.5, ph-7.1, ta-80
ch-130, cya-25
water was barely cloudy, neither day had any green tint
added 20 oz stabilizer, 54 oz 8.3% bleach and 38 oz baking soda
Am I doing anything right, and other than fc and ph how often do the other tests need repeated once there where they need to be? Am I losing fc during the day because there was no stabilizer at the start? And a whole bunch of other questions I can't think of yet lol.
