We just bought a house with a 24ft round above ground pool. New liner was installed and lovely new seam leak finally fixed. Now I need help on getting the chemistry right. We have a nasty looking chlorinator that I swear doesnt work. Ready to switch to BBB now.
levels are
FC 1
CC .5
TC 1.5
PH 7.8 may be lower, hard for me to tell pinkish redish colors on kit
TA 100
CH 120
CYA 30
Temp 82
Yes we have the TF 100 test kit. We get full sun on the pool and up until a few days ago I was shocking it.
I only shocked because the chlorine was low and listened to Leslies that it was needed every other week.
I did add calcium something or other initially(first of May) and was told the level was fine, now its low. Why?
Can we remove the chlorinator all together and just use bleach?
The water is clear, poolskim working like a charm, just cant get the TC to the right level, help!
