New pool owner as of just a couple of weeks ago! So thankful for this forum and all the information provided. Pool has full sun exposure AM to PM in Arizona and right now I am going through a full bottle of 10% a day to keep my FC chlorine within the correct levels. Here are my latest TF100 readings:
FC: 7 (seems like I am losing 5ppm or more daily)
CC: 0
pH: 7.6 (seems to rise quickly)
TA: 210
CH: 250
CYA: 50
I am purchasing the 10% from Lowe's, could it be that it is losing potency? Pool math generally has me adding about half a bottle, but based on the drop off in FC I am seeing daily I have been doing the full 128 oz. I did an overnight chlorine loss test last night and FC remained the same, so not losing to organics I do not think. at $3.50 a bottle, I am looking at $105 a month in just chlorine, should I just bite the bullet and go SWGC as that seems more cost effective long term? Anything else I can try or am I just stuck due to the high UV levels in the Arizona heat?
Thank you,
Dave
