Well, finished the draining yesterday. Also cleaned the filter, re-filled, and ran the pump for 3 hours. Here are the test results this a.m. :
FC= .5
TC= .5
PH= 7.6
TA= 120
CH= 160
CYA= 30 :-D
I looked at my watermeter before I started the refill, and guessed that I drained the pool about 80%. That puts my volume at 16,750 gal., which I will use for calculation.
Next step??? Get the FC level up immediately, I assume?? I will use the Pool Calculator based on my new volume to see where the FC level needs to be. Comments, Pls.
I was surprised to see the CYA level drop so far. Problem with a 30 level?? I know it may creep back up over the next week or so; will keep an eye on that.
Comments/advise on the rest of the readings, pls. Thanks again for all the help!!!
