Last summer, the 3rd summer we've had the pool, my wife kept reporting that her fingernails kept getting "thin" after being in the pool. Her nails have a tendancy to be thinner than mine anyway but were really thin by the end of the summer. No one else in the family really noticed it but I was wondering if I was doing something wrong...
I used a combination of BBB and SWG last year. Primarily bleach after Sunday night and let the SWG take care of things during the week. The salt readings stayed between 2500 and 3000 and I used more than 2 gallons of muratic acid during the summer trying to keep the Ph under control.
The overall readings last year were
TC 3.5-4.0
FC 0.5
pH 7.6-7.8
TA 80
CYA 60
NaCl 2800
Thanks,

-This year it's taken 12 gallons of 6% bleach just to get the pool cleared! The bottom was a green/black when I opened it 2 weeks ago. I guess that's what I get for waiting so long :lol: .
