Met with a potential customer today... This is a community pool with a high bather load.
Here were their numbers for an 80,000 gallon pool
FC .5
TC .5
PH 7.4
CH 1,000
CYA 0
TDS 7,200
Salt 5,310 (NON SWG POOL)
TEMP 83
Customer was complaining about chlorine levels being all over the chart. They have chlorine injectors and they run around the clock. I happen to meet up with "The Pool Professional" that services the community pool and asked him the last time he he tested for CYA, conditioner or stablizer (I specified all three). No Answer... I told him his CYA level was 0, he said " Zero??? I mentioned that the pool chlorine level was pretty much at zero. He said, "I just checked my levels (In the pool room) and I tested high for chlorine". By this time, I was so amused... when I saw three 50# bags of calcium chloride, one of these bags look like it was just emptied into a bucket and was ready to be dumped into the pool. Did I mention that their calcium hardness was over 1,000 ppm.
After a lengthy discussion with the property manager and pool chemistry education (suggesting TFP for reference), "The Pool Pro" again entered the scene and said my boss says that conditioner is not recommend with their injector system...
Did I mention that they use 165 + gallons of chlorine a week? (maybe this explains the high salt levels)
Did I mention they did a drain and refill one year ago...
Holy Cow!!!
