Hey folks! Glad to have found this resource, read several articles and decided to join. I am from central Arkansas and we just had our pool built this past December. Obviously its been too cold to use the pool until recently, so I am very new to this.
so far I have only had one mishap with a local pool store's water chemistry equipment reading my salt level to be too low. Long story short, their equipment needed to be re-calibrated and my pool ended up over 5,000 ppm on salt. In retrospect and after reading several articles, I now realize the salt level wouldn't have dropped 2000 ppm from some rain and back washing.
So now I am armed with my Taylor 2006 and Taylor salt water test kits and am trying to become independent from the pool stores on my water chemistry.
anyway, our pool is s 28,000 gallon vinyl liner pool with water features, slide, diving board, pentair variable speed pump, pentair sand filter, pentair salt cell and aqua comfort heat/cool pump.
I am a first time pool owner so looking to gain as much knowledge as I can.
