Hello all. After some youtubing and reading, I finally figured out the testing of the pool water. We do have a salt water chlorinated pool and here are the results:
Free and Clear
9.6 Free
.4ppm Combined
PH 8
Alkalinity 120ppm
Calcium Hardness 640 ppm
Cyanuric acid 80
I already figured out that I need to add 4 cups of muriatic acid, which I did and my understanding that it will lower the ph and alkalinity.
Now the salt test I did, is way off to what the salt water cell and pool store results:
Salt water cell system = 3600
Pool Store = 3500
at home salt water test = 6000
And I did it twice to be sure following the video and instructions. If you can provide overall feedback of my pool results and let me know what I should be doing next, let me know. Thanks again for your info.
