Hi Everyone:
I just found the address for this forum on the Pool Solutions Forum. I'm so glad to see that there is now a forum available for those of us who hadn't previously joined that one!
Anyway, we just changed to the BBB system this month when we opened our 30 gal, IG vinyl pool. We had fought algae on & off last year & went crazy trying to kill it when we first opened the pool at the beginning of this month. I finally found the Pool Solutions site & got a "tiny" bit educated. Long story short....our CYA was close to 150.
We've drained some water and today's readings are:
CYA: 70
FC: 13.5
CC: 1
PH: 7
TA: 80
Obviously our readings aren't great. We don't mind living with the CYA at 70, and we know we have to increase the PH. However, what about the FC & CC? Is it okay to just wait for the FC to fall into the range indicated by the "Best Guess" Table? (It will take a while, we have a solar cover on most of the day right now.) Should I worry about the CC reading?
Thanks for your help!!
