Are any of the readings/levels (ie ph, fc, ca etc.) different for regular plaster pools than Pebble Tek?
I started using the BBB method around 3-4wks ago and have saved quite a bit of money and my pool is looking like new . The pool store never told me that my CYA was low and I kept buying "shock" and going through the frogger cylinders. After reading the BBB method on another site (which you can no longer register for) I've bought the Taylor kit and I've since than raised my CYA to 30. I just added a little more CYA so I'm hoping to be around 40-50 for CYA and that should stop me from using up so much chlorine. Now I'm trying to bring my TA level down and keep my FC stable. Here are my numbers, any help would be appreciated:
12,000 Gal Bean Shape Pebble Tek
CYA 40
TA 220
CA/CH 270
FC 3.5 (as of this morning but drops daily)
CC 0.5
PH 7.2
I'm currently trying to keep my ph low to aid in lowering my TA by areating. I just started aerating a few days ago by turning my return jets up to release gas. Also, my FC level is only rising 2.0ppm with a gallon of bleach, if I'm not mistaken it should be rising twice that amount. Thanks again.
