Just got our pool in October. Last week the PB drained and acid washed the pool to fix some defects in the finish. They dumped salt in, Intellichlor says 3800. I currently have output for the pool set at 40% and Spa output at 10%. When the system is running and I test the water, it looks like its close to 3.0. So, then I moved on to the PH test (it needed more muratic acid) and so I started trying to remedy that situation.
The problem is that if I test the water when the pump is not running, I get no reading. I mean the water in the tester stays absolutely clear. So I am not sure how to proceed. Those are the only two tests I have run so far, so I can't provide any more numbers. I have the small Pentair test kit (I thought i would use that up before buying the kit recommended here). Do I need to shock the pool to get the FC up and stabilized?
Any suggestions would be appreciated. I didn't have any issues like this in the Fall when the PB started up the pool.
Thanks (as always).
