Hello,
We just finished our pool (pics to follow) in Texas and have a question regarding getting our FC and CYA up. We are using a Nature2 Fusion system with trichlor tabs from poolsupplyworld.com. I would like to do the liquid chlorine method and maybe down the road but my wife and I can travel for 1 month at a time and need an easy way for the neighbors to maintain the pool.
Our pool is in full Texas sun all day long.
Here are the current steps we've taken:
Wed (6/20) - Finished filling pool up, added 2 gallons of MA
Fri (6/22) - Started pool up, added 1 lb baking soda cause TA was low
Sat (6/23) - Had pool store test water and got the following:
FC - 1
TC - 1
CH - 200
pH - 7.2
CYA - 0
TA - 50
Added 7 lbs of baking soda per their recommendation
Sun (6/24) - Got my own Leslie's Chlorine FAS-DPD Service Test Kit and here are my results:
FC - .75
TC - 1
CC - .25
pH - 7.5
CYA - 0
TA - 130ppm
Tues (6/26) -
FC - .5 (Hard to say if any at all)
TC - .5
CC - 0
pH - 7.8
CYA - 0
TA - 120ppm
The water is crystal clear at the moment. Should we add stabilizer to start getting FC up?
Thanks!
