Hello everyone, I just purchased a house with a pool. Water looks clear. I tested the water for the first time today and it looks like I have super high chlorine numbers among other abnormal results. Some of these results seem so bad I have doubts that I did them right now. I can retest tomorrow. Previous owners had Pinch a Penny take care of their pool. The SWG was set to 70 and the timer for the pump was set to run for 8 hrs a day.
FC 65
CC ?
pH 7.5
CH 1050?
TA 100
CYA >100
Salt 2600
I somehow forgot to test the CC after I checked FC.
For the CH test, after I added the 3 drops of R-0011L, the color was more of a light pink. After adding drops of R-0012 the color didn't really change to blue, it went to clear. So I'm not sure if that counts or maybe the light pink indicates I have no calcium.
There was a floating thing with tablets inside that I assume is chlorine tablets. Not sure why this would be needed with SWG. I removed it after I moved in this weekend since the tablets have all dissolved now.
Thank you all for your help.
