Folks-
I replaced ~ 14K gallons of my water below is my old, (prior to refill) new, and fill water chemistry.
Old Water (before the replace)
Date: 8/14
Temp: 85F
FC: 1
CC: .5
TC: 1.5
T/A: 45
C/H: 650
CYA: 50
Salt: 3,200ppm
pH: 8.0
Filter pressure: 22 PSI
SWG Setting: 20%
Pump Run Time: 8 Hrs./ day
Heat Pump: Standby
Action taken after readings gathered:
Replaced 50% of the water.
##########################
Fill Water: (two hoses)
Date: 8/15
Temp: ~60F
FC: .5
CC: .25
TC: .75
T/A: 65
C/H: 100
CYA: 0
Salt: N/A
pH: 8.0
Action take:
Added 2 gallons of MA
Added 160 lbs salt (still need to add more)
Added 3 gallons bleach.
##########################
New water:
Date: 8/17
Temp: 72F
FC: 1.5
CC: .5
TC: 2
T/A: 20
C/H: 410
CYA: 25
Salt: 2,400ppm
pH: 7.0
Filter pressure: 22 PSI
SWG Setting: 0%
Pump Run Time:24/7
Heat Pump: Standby
Additional information: it rained ~3" last night, had to drain some water this am before testing!!
So, I see that my salt, CYA, TA and pH are too low.
My action plan is as follows:
Add another 140 lbs salt -then,turn on SWG to 50% (FC Target: 3.0)
Add 13 lbs of CYA to get CYA Levels to 80
Add 21 lbs of baking soda to bring TA up to 70
I figure that the baking soda, and SWG will bring the pH up so I'll wait to see if adding that is enough before correcting that.
Would you folks do any else/ differently?
Thanks!
Dan
