ok... not sure what's up. pool is testing at 3400 again... 2 days in a row. I need a speedstir LOL It's crazy hot today ("Feels Like" 108) so I'll test the fill water Salt again later.

when the feels like temp is 108 (like today) 95 (what it peaked at, an hour ago) is slightly warm, but pretty good... especially when you get out and the breeze cools you. Honestly, I'd say the sweet spot seems to be 92. Which, coincidentally... is around where it's at as the sun is going...

its new... was filled at the end of february... poll guy threw in god knows what in several large scoops from unlabeled buckets the day after fill.... converted to SWG a month later. But yeah, the CH and CL is what makes me think it's on the loop I know we have 1 outside spigot that is...

ok good to know. I mean I knew most of that, but didn't realize the salt was completely rinsed away.

Well, pool startup was chlorine, those stupid tabs... but we switched to SWG a month later. I'll test the fill water again tomorrow... but does anything about this, besides the salt, seem abnormal?... or indicate softener or not. (Honestly don't know if that particular water line is on the loop...

not sure if you saw my other mention of it... but I measured the TA of my fill water today, it is 90

with my K-1766 10ml sample 1 drop R-0630 per drop R-0718.... 5 drops, turned from white to a milky salmon. ( perhaps i film it, would that help?) Not only that, but thinking back it seems it may have been higher on initial fill... when converting from CL to SWG... Pool guy put in three 40lb...

ok... so just the normal water here being 1000ppm makes sense? I did just check the supply water TA, it's 90

it's an auto fill... which is great convenience-wise.... but if, as it seems to be, it's off the water softener, that's going to be interesting chemical-wise. Our water here is so hard though, that it's a catch 22.... my CH is not going to skyrocket like it would without the softener, but Salt...

Temps have been upper 90s low 100s the last 2 weeks.... my pool water with the bubble cover on was hitting 96 (without any heater).... i removed the cover about 5 days ago and the temp has come down (87 today), but i suspect im getting a lot more evaporation as well. I'm definitely burning off...

i'll do TA again tomorrow.... I remembered all of them except that... i think it was 100 but i could be wrong. Only one i didn't test was CYA, cause i think it's safe to assume thats 0

yes and i finally did... was just too hot to go back out, so posted hoping for some insight anyway... 0 FC, 0 CC, PH 8.2?(off the chart pink, estimate), 0 CH, 1000 ppm salt.

this is kind of why i said check my logs.... i have a K-1766 and have used it several times, that's how i know my SWG is wrong and my salt is rising. but here's the synopsis.... salt was added 3/26 in conversion to SWG Pool service added 120 lbs without testing before or after.... and it...

anyone want to take a gander at my logs and help me understand this? had my salt at 3400, TFP mentions it will go down.... it's rising.... 3600 stupid swg reads it as 4100... but the Amps are staying between 6.8 and 7.2 so i guess 3600 is OK? But I want to know why it's going up... so I can...

i went through this exact process a couple months back... Really wish there was a reliable accurate digital solution... I have a smart home and would love to have that data at a glance on my phone or from Google home... in the end I bought the kits suggested here, and learned the process...
