Hopefully our loan will get funded next week for our new house and we'll be owning our first pool. I really like what I've read about the BBB method and understand that everyone recommends the TF-100 test kits. Prior to owning the house I went by today and grabbed a sample and took it to Leslie's pools since it's around the corner and I haven't purchased my test kit yet.
My main objective was to find out if in fact they're still utilizing the pool service, it seems they are, and to get a preliminary report so I know what we'll be dealing with in a week or so. I realize a lot of people look down on the pool store testing but this is what I have available to me right now.
The pool is approx 12000 gallons and is a free from. From the looks of things they're using chlorine tablets in a floater. If anybody could offer any helpful advice or suggestions with the below results I'd appreciate it. When we move into the house we'll be converting the pool to the BBB method. Thank you!
FAC - 5
TAC - 5
CH - 350
CYA - 100
TA - 90
pH - 7.5
Copper - 0
Iron - 0
TDS - 1000
Pho - 1500
EDIT: He recommended using Phos Free to drop the phosphate level.
