Hi All,
we we have just moved into our new home (Melbourne, Australia) and we now have a pool to maintain!
currently the pool has not been maintained for about the last 4 weeks, so I have started by cleaning out all leaves etc... and running the creepy crawly.
Should I run the filter by itself with the creepy crawly disconnected? If so do I just unplug the creepy crawly from the skimmer box or do I remove the whole adaptor plate that the crawly connects to which would leave the skimmer basket visible when the access lid is off.
The pool is currently green but doesn't appear too bad.
The SWG is indicating a low reading code (salt level unknown)
I purchaesd a Taylor K2006C test kit and performed a couple of tests today and found the following:
PH was above 8, 5 drops of R005 brought it down
CYA - 32
FC - 1.5
Do I need to SLAM? Or should I look at lowering the PH? And then SLAM? Or will this not be required.
I have some Dry Acid but am unsure on quantities to add.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Joel.
