Took my water to a nearby pool store on Saturday. First off, the sample was about 3 hours old when it was tested, so I don't know what effects that had. My numbers were as follows:
FC 8.0 ppm
TC 8.0 ppm
CC 0.00
PH 7.4 ppm
Hardness 165 ppm
Alk 115 ppm
CYA 50 ppm
Copper 0.0
Iron 0.0
My question is how to lower my chlorine level. The pool was built in July and had the SWG on 100% up until say October, when the pool builder dropped it to 65%. The pool store recommended dropping it to 40%, but I went to 35%. I just checked it with my test strips, and it is still high. I would give a number, but am clearly having trouble reading that particular color (green) and associating it with a number. Live in southeast Texas where the temps are currently ranging between lows in the 40's and high's in the 70's. Thanks for any help...
