Hey yall! Fort Worth Texas here and just got our pool built. We have a cartridge filter pump, Jandy equipment. I’m getting overwhelmed with the care of it. I have a few questions if anyone wouldn’t mind helping. I have a list from my pool people where my target numbers should be.
1. We use slow release chlorine tablets. So when testing FH as long as keep tabs in the canister I’m fine. But if my chlorine is extremely slow thats when I would shock it? Meaning adding bleach?
2. The pH and TA should be aligned with each other typically right? Because they both are saying to add borax and one says baking soda. Aren’t those the same? Would I add what it says for each if they’re both off?? He has suggested muriatic acid to lower ph and ta and sodium bicarbonate to raise it.
3. For CYA it says just “liquid stabilizer” or “dry stabilizer”. What is that being used?
I have yet to do this myself. My build came with 1 month free and we have 1 more cleaning so I’m getting all my chems this weekend and I want to have a clear understanding before I start!
Helpppp! Thank you!! Attached is my personal notes and target levels for my pool!
