Well, I just had the pool filled about 5 days ago. Had my pool school yesterday from my builder and he only tested pH and Chlorine. He didn't seem concerned about either. The salt level was 3800 on the display and he said to add a few inches of fresh water and test again. So...I took a water sample to my builder to have it checked because I'm still brushing up on the TF-100 kit I received a day ago. Here are the results:
FC .8
TC .9
pH 7.7
TA 59
CH 27
CYA 2
Salt 3400
Shock Treatment .1
With these numbers, I was informed that I need to add 11lbs of alkalinity up, 2 lbs of pH down, 1 lb of shock treatment, 3 lbs of uv shield, and 21lbs of calcium up.
They said this wasn't bad...seems bad to me. No CYA, low chlorine, low alkalinity, and very low calcium hardness.
I was under the impression my builder would balance the water and then I would maintain. Am I under a bad impression?
Would love advice.
