Howdy,
We just bought a house with a in ground pool.
Took the water sample to get tested with these results from Warehouse Pools in Austin:
Free Chlorine 0.2ppm
Total Chlorine 3.0ppm
Combined Chlorine 2.8ppm
pH 7.6
Hardness 1025ppm
Alkalinity 95ppm
Cyanuric Acid 300ppm
Copper 0.0ppm
Iron 0.0ppm
Total Dissolved Solids 2200ppm
I'm around 1/3 draining the pool right now and then found this forum. Am I doing the right thing? Draining and starting from scratch? From what I've been able to gather since yesterday is that I have to drain the pool completely because of the CyA level and switch to liquid chlorine.
Don't know much about pools besides doing flips into them.. :-D
Water is scare in Texas right now and I really don't want to waste and drain the pool if I don't have to, but from what I can gather, I just might have to because of health reasons if I have kids or multiple people using the pool. It'll cost me over $800 to fill the pool back up with bulk water delivery as I'm on a well and don't want to tap 20,000 gallons out of it...
