Hey everyone,
Just to explain the background issues, I recently had all of my pool equipment destroyed by a falling tree. It took me a while to replace the pump and filter due to some other building issues that were going on. My pool guy lent me a pump with a suction pipe that went to the bottom of the deep end and a return that shot the water on top of the pool over to the shallow end. We were putting a lot of chlorine in the pool to keep it relatively clear. New pump is up and running which is an intellflo VS+SVRS (pentair "upgraded" me from the VS to the VS+SVRS for free) and the filter is the clean and clear plus 520. It has been filtering for a few days and I tested my chemsitry around noon today. One other note, it has been raining a lot here. I have an intellichlor IC-40 ready to go and want to know if I can add my salt or if folks suggest taking some type of action first. Here are my numbers:
FC 11 (This has fallen dramatically in just a day or two)
CC .5
TC 11.5
CYA 65 (this has fallen as well)
TA 80
PH between 7.2 and 7.6
CH 350
What does everyone suggest?
