After reading and absorbing as much information I can right now from the forums and Pool School i finally got my TF-100 kit and tested my water. This pool is new to me and I am really excited to use the BBB method.
These are my results from last night.
FC-6.5
CC-1
TC-7.5
pH-7.2
TA-180
CH-600
CYA-140
I realize CH and CYA are really high so I am going to do a partial drain and refill to get those numbers down. My questions are:
1. While the pool is low and I can't run the pump should I keep the chlorine in the 15-20ppm range?
2. Should I add an algaecide while the pool is refilling? If so which one?
3. Would it effect getting the water balance to recommended levels if I spot cleaned the tile and stairs with a 50/50 solution of MA and water?
4. Any tips for this process that I should be looking at?
This site is a wealth of knowledge and I haven;t even scratched the surface...Thanks
