So...I just completed my 2nd "no drain/refill" process for my pool. I started with CH = 1350
Just tested and I am at 350!!!!! Whoooo Hoooo!!! yay!!!
I don't even know if I know how to maintain the chemicals in a pool with that low of CH...lol! I'm half kidding...lol!
I'm just so excited to be in the "normal" range of CH for the first time ever
For background:
Last June, I did this process for the 1st time and started with a CH = 1600 and ended with 800
For reference my Tap water CH = 300
I figured out what I did wrong last time:
1) I had the wrong size for my pool (pool guy told me 17,000...it was closer to 20,000)
2) I was using the wrong gallons being pumped out per minute (thought it was 6...but actually 5.7)
3) So, I did not drain ALL the water...left about 3,000-4,000 galloons
4) Got some mixing due to how I was filling the pool for the first 6 hrs.
Here's to a GREAT Summer ahead
