So, my CYA was at 320 due to 2 years of using puks and not having a decent test kit, and CA was at 400ish. Think it was more by luck than judgement that i didn't get an algae bloom before i did lol.
A couple of weeks ago i virtually emptied the pool and filled with tap water, i had to use puks for the 2 weeks i had to wait for CalHypo granules, because its difficult to source liquid chlorine/bleach here, i'm having to go down this route.
Anyway, here are my new figures,
FC 5.5
CC 0.05
pH 7.6
CA 80
TA 80
CYA 76
the CYA has risen due to 3 puks! but will lower this now with regular backwashing.
Poolmath says i should be at FC of 9ppm, is this the case even if my CC's are so low? i do realise my CA is going to rise over the summer, but its quite cheap here to replenish, i'm waiting for a guy to get back to me about some 12-14% liquid chlorine, but think i will have to buy bulk to get some, until then its calhypo.
