Hi,
Been in my old pool for three years. My routine was maintenance with tri-chlor, shock with calcium hypo, raise pH with sodium carbonate.
I had occasional troubles with cloudiness and a bit of algae. I found this forum and upgraded from my wally world test kit to a Taylor K-2005.
Current conditions:
Temp = 90 F
FC 2, TC 3 DPD method
pH 7.4
TA 150
good so far.
Here is my surprise,
CYA = 0 Checked it three times.
CH = 0 Checked it three times.
Is it plausible that I've use tri-chlor for three years with no CYA residual? I've never used the bi-chlor shock treatment.
Is it plausible that I have no calcium hardness?
Thanks,
Ted
