Hello all,
First post after reading around the site for awhile. Much more information here then at EP site or their manual.
Started using my indoor EP at the end of Feb after it was installed and have been fighting this sour smell when
I roll back the cover to use it. It seems to come and go, so I have been watching my pool log to see if I can get it to correspond with something I do, but
not really anything consistent. Local pool store advises just to shock it.....
Here are my latest numbers
FC - 3 (coming down from a shocking)
ph - 7.6
TA - 110
CH - 250
CA - 30
I try to keep it around the .5-1 ppm as recommend by EP, but that is very hard to read at that low level. So I put in between 3 -4 oz Bleach (8.25%) daily and adjust accordingly.
Also I seem to be constantly trying to bring the ph back down. Local pool company said that the UV filter will cause the ph to rise, and that
adding ph decrease is just like chasing your tail.. You will never win. He said to leave it where it was ( around 8). ?
Any help greatly appreciated. (I have had 2 outdoor pools over the years and never really had this much trouble with those).
