My introductory thread is listed here where you can see my initial test results:
http://www.troublefreepool.com/threads/85088-New-pool-owner
My pool is completely screened, pump runs for 8 hours per day and I did have the vacuum running at the same time (though I have changed it as I had to replace the hose.)
I have been in charge of the pool for over a week now and I have added bleach once. That is the only time I have added anything ever.
I visually look at the water and test CL, PH, FC and CC daily. Weekly I will test everything. Yesterday I tested everything with the following results:
CL:5
PH:7.8
FC:6.5
CC:0
CH:250
TA:110
CYA:55
With these numbers entered into pool math, it says to add some muriatic acid for the PH and some calcium chloride for the CH. I am hesitant on the acid as the PH readings can be somewhat suggestive. Should I add the calcium chloride?
The one time I did add bleach I did that as verification that I was doing the tests properly. After testing that time, my FC did go up.
Every day visually the pool looks great. Do I need to be concerned that I am not adding anything? Signs of something to come?
The system does have a puck feeder. I have checked that and there are no pucks in there.
