MH said:I'm a new pool owner in Goodyear, AZ (20 mile west of Phoenix; the western edge of civilization). I just got my Taylor #2004B test kit. Here are the readings:
pH: 7.6
FC: 1
TA: 200
CH: 600+
CYA: 120
CYAf: 160
I say CH is 600+ because I got tired of adding drops after 60. Emptying the pool and refilling won’t help much because my city water measures 475 ppm and I have to add water often. Is there another good option to reduce calcium hardness?
Also, with a Pentair Triton II TR100, what should my pressure be after backwashing? Currently, it is 0.
