I just moved into a house with a swg pool (see sig for details). The pool is algae free and nice and clear. After adding water to get it to the right level, I got out my Taylor K-2006 test kit and took the following readings late last night:
FC = 6
CC = 0.5 (one drop)
pH = 8.0 (or higher)
TA = 80-90
CH = 190
CYA = 32 (higher than 30, lower than 35)
Salt = 2750 (aqua check test strip) or 2900 (SWG control panel)
Borate = 15 (insta-test test strip)
I am trying to figure out the order to adjust all of this. I do plan on increasing the borates to 50 at some point, but not until my other numbers look better. I used the pool calculator to get the amounts. I am going to lower the percent on the SWG by 5% (although, with a little CC present maybe not).
