Ok folks, I've learned so much from you. It really has been exciting to worked on my wacked out pool mess that I've created over the past nine years, to something I can be proud of.
Auto Pilot SWG installed and happy with it so far. Still very early.
Using new AquaBot T2. I love that thing.
Pool Chemistry
FC - Was pea soup green with FC 0. Now beautiful sparkly clear at FC 7. Letting it drop to 4ish, the cranking up the SWG.
CC - Was 0. Is 0.
TC - Was 0. Now at 7.
PH - Was at 7.2. Now at 7.2. Coming off of a TA battle. I will let this rise to the high of 7.8, then back to 7.6, and cycle.
CYA - Was at 170ish. Now after a half drain\fill, then an 18" drain\fill, Now at 58. Pool maybe gets 8 hours sun per day.
TA - Was 110, but after the drain/fills, TA rose to 170. Built myself an aerator like duraleigh has (Thanks Duraleigh). Then after maybe a week of acid and aeration, acid and aeration, Now TA is at 82.
CH - Was at 90. Now at 120. Not really sure what I'm shooting for on this one. I've read CH has little effect on a vinyl pool, but I'm not sure of a target.
SALT - Was at 500 or so, but the drain/refills killed that. Now at 3500. Was shooting for 3000, but overshot it a little. I figure a backwash or two, and the regular use of my 17 year old daughter and her heard of friends, with take care of that.
I plan to get the solar cover on it tomorrow so I can get some heat in it, and then its party time.
So, with my new numbers, am I in line? I appreciate everyones guidance.
Thanks,
Mister Mister
