Hello Board
Hoping someone can offer me some advice. 3 days ago, I had my pool drained and acid cleaned (a friend of a neighbor did it) and in fairness, it make a stunning difference.
The pool was refilled from the municipal supply going through a filter to remove metals etc - again the water looks stunning...
The person who did the acid clean, also balanced it for me the following day however I took my own readings using my TF kit - this is what I have
FC 14
CC 0
TC 14
CYA 90
TA 190
CH 160
pH 6.8 - 7.0 although I don't put much weight into this given the high FC reading
Pool is a 11000 gallon plaster pool with SWG.
I'm concerned about my CH reading however the guy who acid washed it said I should wait a week or two before adding calcium.
Right now I have the SWG off to bring down the chlorine - which is happening (2ppm over the past day) however I want to ensure the low CH level doesn't cause any damage.
I'm planning to let my kids back in the pool to get "splashing" around so that we can get the TA down and the pH up so that doesn't worry me too much.
Just looking for some thoughts and input.
Thanks in advance.
Jon
