    also if you take too long doing the test the sample will turn pink again one drop per second and as soon as it goes clear that is it, if you wait a few seconds it will go pink again

    Has anyone gone back to regular chlorine from SWG?

    imo managing a pool without a swg would be too much time lost imo a swg is a necessity 99% of problems attributed to a "salt" pool are caused by other factors only problem that is true is that you can taste the salt over around 3500ppm

    Curious pH test question (Science?)

    when your TA gets below 80 then lower your PH to 7.8 the lower you take your PH the quicker it will rise my pool has stabilized at TA 40 and PH 7.8 maybe 1 or 2 cups of acid per year

    So pool shops are like anti virus software, they make the viruses to keep you coming back.

    sounds good to me the only draw back to TFP clear is that you can see every spot on the floors and walls much clearer than slightly blurry water try to brush at least once per day

    ph tests false high when fc is above 10 maintaining a high fc for a prolonged period can have a small lowering effect on cya, within the range of testing error brushing the algae can upset the clarity of the water looks good to me keep on, keeping on

    numbers look good to me salt looks too high, but different chlorinators have differnt requirements the stabilizer (cya) will drop your ph so keep an eye on that next couple of days also your cya level will increase, which means your target and minimum FC will need to increase

    that would make it 66,000 litres, quite big you can use how your pool reacts to chemicals to narrow it down if pool math says to add 1kg of something and you overshoot then your pool is smaller if it has little effect then your pool is bigger there is a complex way to work it out , save this for...
