Long story short, bought a house with a pool last August and got the pool closed okay last fall, but have "opened it" now and have some questions.
Have a 33' round above ground pool, that I have been told, holds 27,900 gal. It has a Sta-Rite Sand Filter and 1.5 HP pump. It has a Mineral Springs SWG (which I love and is one reason why we bought the house), but I don't like to be over charged for things I can purchase cheaper and with as few chemicals as possible. We have had the cover off of the pool for about a week and the water was clear when we took it off. We ran the Dolphin several times to get the stuff off of the bottom. I tested the water yesterday (after letting the pump/filter run for several days) with the Taylor K-2006 test kit and the Taylor K-1766 salt water test kit and here are my results:
FC: no reading (didn't register)
CC: no reading (same as above)
PH: 7.6
TA: 100 ppm
CH: 120 ppm
CYA: no reading (didn't register)
Salt: 2400ppm
I would really like to know how much of what products (BBB) I need to add especially now that the water has gone to a cloudy green in the last 24 hours. I live in Nixa, MO (southwest MO). Any help anyone can give would be greatly appreciated, we are really new to this and want to do it right! :-D Would also like to know what I should do for general maintenance throughout the season. Thanks again!
