Hey all,
New here and happy to join. We bought a house in Houston a year ago w an in ground pool/hot tub, maybe 15k gallons.
After using the pool service to help us while we got adjusted to the new house, we are taking things over ourselves. Just did our first water chemistry test with Taylor 2006c and think we have some changes to make. The pool store had us add 1 gallon of liquid chlorine as a liquid shock and three tabs in the Chlorinator. 6 days later our readings are:
FC 13.2ppm
PH 7.8
TA 130
CH 220
Cya >100
I know from the initial skimming here that the cya is terrifying high, which is likely a product of pool service using a lot of tabs. We don't know how to drain our pool but would potentially use a hose to flood it into the overflow?
Happy to take the communities ideas on the best steps to slowly get the water back into range. No rush to fix it overnight - pool water looks beautiful - but would like to make progress to get it in range.
Thanks in advance!
