Hi All,
So I decided to post this new thread. I could't find anything on this topic and am looking for guidance.
I "inherited" a pool with the purchase of our home. I have been testing and testing, and my Chlorine levels have always dropped, daily.
My most recent tests revealed these ugly numbers:
Chlorine - 1
PH 7.4
CYA- over 100, maybe 120
TDS- over 900!
TA 120
CH over 450
10,000 gal pool with plaster liner
Terrible numbers, so I am draining the pool today to start over.
My pool guy has suggested I use his start up chemicals, plus start using borates.
My question is, for a 10,000 gallon pool, what do I need for chemicals to start this whole process up?
I want to be sure he isn't overselling me chemicals.
I understand chemicals when the pool is full, but when emptying and starting "fresh" I couldn't find any threads.
