HI I decided to do a no drain due to major scaling. We put in the pool 3 years ago and I do the maintance. Still learing and found this site. Pool 13000 gallon salt pentair system.
At the moment I cant fine my before readings. After reading prior info on the site I dived right in . I turned off the system and added 6 gal's of acid. scrubbed and scrubbed. after 4 days I up'ed the ph level by adding 10 lbs of soda ash in stages, no change, added 4 boxes of borax in stages, not much in change, added 3 more boxes in stages and ph came to 7.2, Restarted the system and after 8 hours system reads as follows:
fac 3
tac 3
salt 2600
ch 500
cya 50
ta 150
ph 7.6
pho 1==
copper 0
iron 0
Any thoughts so far
I was going to add 28 ounces of acid to bring down TA. Figured its not a race and do it in stages to understand better. Thanks
