Startup guy left and so now I need to take over adding chemicals. I tested yesterday and today here are the results Testing log. I’m off to Home Depot to buy Muriatic Acid and liquid chlorine. Can anyone comment on what amounts I should add tonight and do I need to space out adding the Muriatic...

Did my first water test on the pool water today: PoolMath Logs Unfortunately air bubbles keep coming back a few minutes after bleeding the filter. Going to try and get a replacement gasket for the pump basket as it’s really old. Hope it’s that and not leaks in what are possibly old copper pipes...

And here are pics of the filter. I would have to buys new cartridges, but not sure how to assess if the rest of the filter is good. The lady didn’t know much about it other than there was nothing wrong with it and that it worked fine for their pool when they used it. Said it was probably...

Also that pump is duel speed, but will upgrade it to Pentair super flo 1.5 vs at some point.

Would a Hayward 3025 cartridge filter be sufficient for a 25000g pool? Found one used for $95. Pool is getting replastered waiting to be filled, 1 skimmer 2 returns, 1.5” pipe, 1 hp pump. Current sand filter is shot. Current setup:
