Hello all.
We moved into a new build six months ago and have a new 19000 gallon chlorine pool that was completed about a month ago. I knew very little about water chemistry then, but have done a bunch of research and have started using this site to gain more information. I figured I'd join so that I can post any future questions I may have.
So far, so good. I purchased a Taylor K-2006 and have made a habit out of testing the Chlorine and PH every morning to get a handle on this. I'm sure once the excessive heat and sun come back next year, I'll be adding A LOT more bleach regularly. However, it also gives me time to raise the CYA levels. We had a trichlor feeder installed with the pool, and I had no clue about the potential future problems and partial trainings that were involved with that. Note: should always do the ridiculous studying BEFORE the purchase! However, I've decided to get the CYA levels to the minimum over the winter with the feeder and then only use it when I am away on vacations or work and such.
Anyway, thanks for this site and the excellent information it provides. I'm sure it will be helping me out immensely through my pool ownership journey.
Thanks,
Nicosdad
