Date 05/02 (Got the test kit- Woot Woot!)
Time AM
FC 0.5
CC 4.5
TC 5.0
pH 7.0
CYA >100
Notes: ~50% Water Change, 4x1x10%=9ppm added during fill-up at night. Bought 12 gallons of 10% from leslie's (guy thought I was nuts, "you really, really want to buy that much - it will only last a few weeks before it starts degrading...").
Date 05/03 (Pool is now re-filled)
Time Noon
FC 1.0
CC 0.5
TC 1.5
pH 7.4
CYA 40
Notes : Seems as though all almost 9ppm from the night before was consumed, however all of the CCs were burned-out too - I think that's a good thing. Added 13.3ppm (6, 1Gal@10%), Salt was at ~1.9PPT, added 400 lbs into the waterfalls and let run for several hours to dissolve. CYA is lower (good - before it was so high it wasn't measurable... now I have a starting point I can work with). Also, not too worried about Ca and Alk - focusing on Cl for the time being.
Date 05/03
Time PM - 9 hours later...
FC 5.0
CC 0.5
TC 5.5
Notes: wow, burned through 10PPM in the course of the day. Don't think it was sun - as it was pretty cloudy all day. The pool sure looks clearer than it has in a long time. A lot of cr*p seemed to settle/drop on the bottom, so around 4:00 I went and vacuumed the pool and then backwashed the filter. DE that was less than a few days old was murky brown. Added 4.4ppm (2 1G @10%) and 5.6 (3@6%*174oz), Total Add 10 ppm. Last thought, I have used 12 1 Gallon jugs and about 8 1.5 gallon jugs - the recycle-guy's gonna look at my house real strange when he stops by Tuesday morning. Salt's now at 2.8PPT - will turn on the SWG tomorrow after I call Jandy (The AquaPure isn't talking to the RS-8).
