Re: SWCG Installed today - a few questions - Water #'s added
frustratedpoolmom,
Ok, I removed the light and scrubbed the hole out with a 3M Scotch Brite scrubby pad. Really wasn't anything in the light can hole, but scrubbed it any way. There is now absoultly nothing in my pool, ladders were not installed yet this year, so the only thing in my pool is the vinyl liner, skimmer basket, deep end suction intake (looks like a return jet), and 2 return jets. I aslo brushed the entire pool again and then once settled (minor amount), vacuumed the entire pool. The water is "sparkly".
I also must mention that this pool was Baquacil conversion upon opening this year (2 years Baqucil). I did not mention this fact in this thread, but had in another thread here http://www.troublefreepool.com/newbie-to-the-forum-saying-hi-t13765.html. I used Calcium Hypo (70%) to do the conversion. First application of cal hypo was 50 lbs, second application was 12.5 lbs, 3rd application was 12.5 lbs. Before I found this site my poolstore had me make sure I was not losing even 1ppm overnight. I was finally able to accomplish that feat, and then I then changed 100% of the 2 year old filter zeolite sand with new Zeosand. Then moved on to installing the SWCG, and at that point is where I started this thread. Then I received my TF100 test kit and did my own test and found the CC issue.
