If you need more chlorine, then you turn up the percentage. If you have too much chlorine then you turn down the percentage.
There might be something else going wrong, if you posted a full set of water test results we could tell you that, but 95% of the time it is as simple as adjusting the percentage setting to the correct level.
Thanks i'll start by turning it up to 90% for 8 hours per day.
Here are my water test from the pool store.
fc 2.5 (they didn't give me a cc reading and i think this is were my problem is)before putting in cya i was at a target fc of 1.5 but my water was always beutifull and crystal clear.
ph 7.6
alcalinity 80
calcium 200
cya 25 (i know i should be at 70 except i'm going to try to bring up my fc first)I've already put in 2 kilos of cya two weeks ago.
I'm ordering a new test kit this week.
My water this week for the first time was a little cloudy.I also can see a little film of green forming on the the bottom of the water.I only started having this problem after trying to bring up my cya witch was at 0. The 25 cya is making my fc less effetive then it use to be and causing me to most probably have a cc of 1 or more.Is it really worth aiming for a cya target of 70.I feel like this is starting to cause me problems with my water.The cya costs me money,and it's causing me to have to run my swg at a higher percentage witch is puting more ware on it.It seems to be counter productive.
The pool store told me that my cloudy water was due to my alcalinity beeing to low(he said to bring it up to 100 by adding 1 kilo of alcalinity +)and he also didn't like seeing my cya at 25 and said i should be carefull not to let it go up.He prefers 0 cya.
I've been reading alot around here now and i know that this information is wrong because i'm at my target for alcalinity)
What shoud i do next?
Thanks
