I just started a new pool, inground plaster 4,800 Galons, with an Ichlor30 and 1 HP pump running about 3 hours a day at 100% output, Salt level is 3100 PPM, Cyanuric acid around 50 PPM, however, the chlorine level is VERY low....any ideas?
ICHLOR 30 Low Chlorine production

Welcome to TFP.
What test kit are you using?
What is your complete set of water chemistry?
FC
CC
pH
TA
CH
CYA
Running your Ichlor30 at 100% for 3 hours a day will give you about 3ppm of FC. That is normal daily pool usage so I would not expect your FC to rise at all. The FC the SWG generates will be consumed every day by the suns UV rays.
I suggest you read ABCs of Pool Water Chemistry

You will have to bring the FC up to target with liquid chlorine first and the try to dial in to find the right setting between pump run time and % output.
Hi:
Thanks for your reply, here is the chemistry:
FC...very low under 3 ppm
PH 7.4
TA 190
Total Hardness 600
CYA: 50 ppm
Any suggestions??
Thanks

We have found those strips are worse than guessing. You need to get some type of better test kit. Here is information on the test kits we recommend. See what you can get or have someone bring one in from the US.

Jaime:
Necesitas un kit FC/CYA Levels. Yo tengo el K2006C. Yo lo pido por ebay al Pobox. En mercadolibre esta el 2006 pero son frascos mas chicos no duran mucho. Si tienes alguna duda avisa.
