Hello All,
First off, thank you all at TFP for this invaluable site. I reference it all the time for all manner of things from testing, to chemical balance to pool product information. As a first time pool owner in my first season, I couldn't handle my pool without this resource.
Here are today's test results:
Ph - 7.5
TA - 60 ppm
FC - 10.4 ppm
CC - 0.2 ppm
CYA - 40
CH - 30
I can't figure out why my FC is so high and my CC is so low. My pool gets used almost every day by my two kids and most of the kids in the neighborhood. I have a few small leaks so between that and evaporation I add about 150 gallons of fresh water daily.
Pool water is crystal clear and there don't appear to be any issues but these chlorine results seem out of whack, don't they?
I use liquid bleach and occasionally TriChlor pucks to maintain my CYA levels or to cover me when we're away from home. I just want to make sure I don't get a sudden algae bloom when my back is turned.
Any and all advice is greatly appreciated.
