Tired of being ripped off and even worse not having a balanced pool. I just recently joined looking for some help. I am ordering the test kit from here so my test can be more accurate and more frequently since the pool store is an hour away. My pool is 16x32 vinyl liner and goes from 3'-8'. About 20,000 gallons.
Here are my recent tests and what the pool store recommends:
TDS - 1400
CYA - 100
Tot. Chlorine 0.1 --recently replaced my chlorinator so this has been in the 1.5-2 range the last few tests
Free Chlorine 0
ph - 7.2
Tot. Alkalinity - 94
Tot. Hardness - 227
They recommended:
20.5 lbs of Balance Pak 100
1 lbs of Lo 'N Slo
3 bags of burnout
Seems everytime I go I need something extreme, like 15 pounds of this and 20 pounds of this. Can I add 20 lbs of baking soda? I already have the Lo 'N Slo and burnout.
