I’m sure it’s me, but need someone to tell me why! I have used the app for several years with my old pool, moved houses so new pool (new build). I must have a setting wrong.
My pool gallons are set to plaster, 38000. My Test Kit is TF-100, and the reagents are about 6 mths old.
I needed FC to go from 0 to 12 (SLAM). 4 gal of 10% got me to FC5.5, 6 gal of 10% got me to FC7, 9 gal 10% to FC11.
The app, when I was initially at FC0 with target FC12 it recommended I add 4 gal, 2 qts (the sanitizer type is set to liquid chlorine, 10%, 128oz jugs). That is far from the 9 I added. (my chlorine expires 1/6/26)
Also, Calcium Hardness. Current is 275, target is 450. It recommends adding 62 lbs (setting is Calcium Chloride). 62 lbs? It took @25 lbs to get it to 275 (super soft fill water).
So, the FC target recommended addition was too low, but then the Calcium seems really high? I tracked my SLAM numbers because I wanted to use them to verify the # of gal in my pool, but this isn’t making sense.
I don’t understand the chemistry of how all this works, I’m just appreciative of the smart people who gave me the tools and the instructions on how to use them! Smart people, help me out
