First time post. Let me say, i've already left the pool store, and started using my TF-100 test kit. I'm learning alot since I found this site late las summer, but I'm afraid there's still more to learn. Last year was expensive, trying to fix a pool that wouldn't keep it's FC (bags and bags of shock). Through this site, I learned to remove some water, test for excessive cya, and slam the pool. Now I'm opening the pool, and decided to go with a circu pool SI-60. I've been maintaining a FC of 20ppm for several days, and was able to get my CC down to below 1. This allowed the pool to clear up to the point I felt confident adding the salt to the pool. I tested for Sodium Chloride, and found 800 ppm already existed. I added 480 lbs. of pool salt, and 24 hours later tested again. The sodium chloride level now appears to be at 4000 ppm. I admit I may be performing the test wrong, since the SI-60 is reporting 2300ppm.
My latest test results are:
FC = 8
CC < 1
Sodium Chloride 4000
CYA = 80
TA = 70
PH = 7.2
Any recomendations ?
Thanks,
Ernie
