    Salt water pool, couple of questions

    It's running 8 hours a day at the moment, though I think I probably could reduce that until summer arrives. So it's producing about 3.64ppm in 8 hours and it's been about a week since I added the CYA, 25.5ppm and losing a little to UV, now is 21ppm - I guess that makes sense! And if I'm...

    Salt water pool, couple of questions

    OK I've added CYA using the sock method, completely dissolved in about 30 minutes in front of a return jet. I added enough to raise 30ppm and I've just measured a week later and it's about 50ppm, so that's good. Need to a little more but no problem. What does concern me... Previously my FC...

    Salt water pool, couple of questions

    Yes, it wasn't easy to find and I'm sure I paid a hefty premium, I got it from: https://analizaragua.es/ 170 EUR but looks like they are down for maintenance at the moment.

    Salt water pool, couple of questions

    Thank you so much for the help, I have a plan of action. PoolMath is saying I should 1.4kg of dry stabilizer to get a target of 30 (presume 30ppm?) - before I blindly trust the figures - does that sound about normal for 48,000L pool? Just looked it up, 30g Cl2 and my pool has 48,000L...

    Salt water pool, couple of questions

    Thanks for the replies. I haven't added any additional water yet and unfortunately I wasn't able to test the fill water (from a tanker) at the time because I didn't have the kit. I will test the tap water though for future reference when I do top up. I will get some dry CYA and read up on the...

    Salt water pool, couple of questions

    Hi everyone, So last month we had a salt water gunite pool built and filled with fresh water, my Taylor kit arrived recently, so I've done some tests : FC 1.6 CC 0 PH 7.6 TA 170 CA 60 CYA 0 (or < 30, mixture not cloudy at all) I did a few retests just to try and make sure I was doing it...

    High Salinity - Astralpool

    Thanks for your reply James. I've been told the machine is displaying 'potential conductivity' not the actual salinity level.. I'm not really sure what use that is but anyway. Also the reading can be wrong because the water is cold (~17c) I'm going to try and purchase the Taylor addon for...

    High Salinity - Astralpool

    Hi everyone, We had a salt water pool built (well, old pool reconstructed) recently and the company has 'started up' the pool last week. We are using the Astralpool Smart Next salt chrolinator which has a minimum salt level of 5 g/l and ideal 6 g/l. The level currently showing on the...
