As a new pool owner last year TFP got me up and running and after a short learning curve I had a totally trouble free season!
I still have a lot to learn but have a general knowledge as to how to manage the various levels.
When I closed last year everything was right in line. I am opening this weekend and looking on some guidance to make this years opening a bit smoother.
Just pulled the cover and tested (after a Massachusetts winter) I was a little surprised by my opening test results:
FC - O (no surprise)
CH - 75 (was 275)
TA - 40 (was 90)
PH - 7.2 (was 7.5)
CYA - 0 (was 60ish)
Last year I had 0 CYA at opening and ammonia and had to SLAM pretty hard to get through that and then brought up my CYA. Assuming that the 0 CYA means same issue?
The drop in TA and CH surprised me a bit, never had any issues there.
Any advice as to where to begin is GREATLY appreciated.
