No harm done here. Can you please post up a full set of results and give us an indication on how the pools water looks and feels? A SLAM may be in order. If I recall you had some algae issues. You have confirmed that your CYA is at 60. What about everything else? Thank you.
I SLAMed my pool and it's great!! 1 FC drop at night. 0CC Love the new test kit. FC is at 4 as of yesterday. CYA 60. PH is 7.4-7.5. TA 200. Have to look at that. CH is 200. I got all this and my pump just crapped out. Burned up the start winding. I changed the capacitor and it was running great. It's about 8-9 years old. Little did I know that it was wired incorrectly. Long story short, it's dead and going to get a 2 speed motor. Do I need the 1hp pump cranking all the time. Just need to circulate and run SWG. I was looking at STS1072RV1 or STS1102RV1. I have a 1hp hayward superpump now, but do I really need that 1hp? I don't think I do, just to circulate/skim and get chlorine out. I don't backflush or vacuum. Motor side is toast. Wetside is just fine. Just want to change out motor. Thanks
Sorry, I'm not sure what question you were asking there. Can you elaborate a little about the 1hp pump? What 1hp pump?
I would suggest getting a 1 HP 2 speed motor to match what you have impeller wise. Remember, most of the time you will only be using the low speed, so at that point it is no longer a 1 HP motor for all practical purposes anyway.
