So pool school was completed today and the pool is officially turned over to me for chemical balance etc.... the pool tech was very informative and also took notice of the TF100 test kit. He knew exactly where I got it from and said he wasn’t worried at all about the pool being taken care of...

I was referring to chlorine. But I think CL2 refe Yes that is correct I should have put only CL instead of CL2.

I’ve been reading those a lot while figure all the chemistry out. And they have not given me a startup guide as of yet. They pretty much said they are taking care of the chemistry until pool school. I will be having a long meeting with their startup specialists tomorrow and getting details of...

The pool was filled exactly 1 week ago today.

I’ll update tomorrow morning when I get home from work. I’m hoping that running the SWG at the reduced rate all day will allow my CL2 to drop below the 10ppm mark so I can make get a more accurate PH reading.

Here’s a pic of the sample I took today. I do believe the meter that was used as we use it and calibrate it regularly, as we measure boiler water chemistry with it all the time. And our boiler water has to be as pure and as clean as possible to make sure we send high quality steam to our steam...

So I had ran the SWG at 80% yesterday for the 10 hour run time, and this morning I backed it down to 40% for today’s run. Will see what the readings are tomorrow morning when we take them during pool school with the builder. I didn’t have too much time today but did manage to get a few quick...

Great information and yeah we aren’t too far from each other. I’m beachside In the Melbourne area so I’m just a little south of that Orlando line. I’m planning to keep the CYA around the 40 range for right now until I dial the rest of the water chem in. I may adjust from there if needed. I...

Good read. I missed that note on the false high with high Free Cl

Yes I took it with the kit that came with the TF100 and also tested it with the pool master kit that my builder left me. Both were high.

I’m wanting to test it vs some high end lab equipment. I fully plan to test it with the TF100 as well.

Funny you mention that because I added the recommended acid earlier today and when I tested again tonight it appears to not have lowered much at all based on the color chart. I’ll be keeping a close eye on it and will be backing down the SWG significantly tomorrow morning. I’m curious to see...

Thanks for the great info. I will back my spa overflow down to just 30 minutes tomorrow after I take my pool readings and add some more Muriatic acid to get my PH down. ans yeah I’ll be asking what their requirements are so I can keep everything good with them and my warranty. My CSI is...
