New pool owner, new-to-us house came with a pool (1 month).
Really minor questions here to start with;
Testing kit - does it need to be stored inside the house (as opposed to the garage) for the reagents - for temperature. Live in Houston, hot most of the time...
Cleaning - when I clean the vials - is it ok to just rinse and clean in the pool water? Or should I go inside and use the tap water at the sink?
Free Chlorine levels - from the Chlorine / CYA chart I get my target FC - is this the level I should try to maintain when considering the daily loss? That is, say I want to target 11 ppm, I test every afternoon when I get home and lose maybe 3-4 ppm per day, should I be aiming for 14-15 each evening so that the next day it falls to 11 OR do I aim for 11 each evening letting it fall to 7-8 by the next evening?
Latest test;
FC 7.7
TC 7.9
PH 7.7
ALY 98
CH 258
CYA 82
