Newbie here. I just bought a house with a SWG pool. The pool looks fine but I bought the Taylor K2006 kit even though the previous owner used test strips and took samples to the pool store every month or so. He said he had no problems. I can't read the strips reliably.
Tests:
Temp 84 degrees.
pH 8.0
FC 0
TA 100
CH - no change to pink -0?
CA - no cloudiness - 0?
When I saw the FC at 0, I checked and found that the SWG had been off for the last week! I don't know how I don't have a green pool. My son thinks it's a bit cloudier than when he saw it a week ago? but it looks fine to me.
In desperation, I turned the SWG on and to superclorinate.
I bought 2 gals of sodium hypochlorite 10% and wanted to add them immediately, but I'll wait an hour or so on this forum in case I should do something else first.
The owner left some pool supplies around, but nothing to lower the pH. The stores are closed and I really don't want to wait for the Monday morning.
Pool is 20000 gal.
