Good Morning, yesterday I went to the pool store to get my Polaris fixed. While I was there I had them check my water. I typically use my own Taylor Test kit to check my water. There were a few differences in my results and theirs.
CYA 36 - mine the same. I have been raising this using the sock method in front of the return
FC 8 - mine 7.5 (close) - I added bleach because of high use last weekend have been doing overnight test before I lower it. I am now letting it get back to normal
PH 7.7 mine about 7.5
TA 87 mine 90
CH -162 mine 180 - is this important for a fiberglass pool? I also have a gas heater if that makes a difference.
Salt 2300 mine 3200 big difference - I use the K-1766 Taylor salt kit ( should I trust my results?)
Phosphates 2,000 ( I don't test for phosphates - Should I?
Also while I was there they said I should yearly use a filter cleaning chemical like Kleen It or Strip Kwik. Do I need to do that? I have a sand filter.
Thanks for the help!
