I have only been in the pool maintenance game for 12 months, completed a SLAM last year and got myself clued up on how things work.
I have been away for a few months and had a friend to check FC/CC levels for me - not his fault however I don't think he understood how things work.
Anyway, I am back home now.
Pool has had a solar cover on for 2 months - with the odd exposure to daylight.
Issues:
The plaster where the coping meets the wall of the pool is breaking up, along with the small tiles coming off! I picked up approx. 20 tiles that had come off from around the water line. Looking at the results below, I take it this is because the CH has dropped so low?
CYA - I done the test multiple times, each occasion I could still see the black dot - so my CYA is below 30. What shall I do about this? I cannot SLAM until I know an approx. CYA rating.
Pool floor needs a clean up of leaves that have fallen.
I am little confused on what order to tackle things so any input would be great.
Completed tests now as follows:
FC = 0 (added 3 drops of powder)
CC = 0.5
PH 7.4
TA = 30 (3 drops)
CH = 120 (12 drops)
CYA = 30 maybe even less - dot is still visible
(A test which I did 6 months back were:
FC 8
CC 0
pH 7.2
CH 280 (aim is to get this to around 350)
TA 80 (was 100 before i started reducing pH)
CYA 40)
