First of all I hope this is the right place to post this. We are going to keep our pool open all winter and I have several questions. But first here is the test results before I get any further.
On 11-6-14 the water temp was 60F so the SWG was still generating.
FC 9, TA 120, PH 7.2, CYA 70, water temp 60F
11-11-14
FC 7.5, no change to anything else except water temp 57F
11-13-14
FC 6.5 water temp now 47F, SWG not generating.
Outside temp 20-43F
11-17-14
FC 5, TA 120, PH 7.4, CYA 80, water temp 47F.
Outside temp 24-43F
So my question is, since my FC level has only dropped 1.5 in say 3 days, would it be easier to just dose the pool with enough bleach say every 5-7 days to raise the FC back to good a level and just test and monitor from that point forward.
I am trying make this as easy as possible on my wife after I go to work next week so she does not have to do this every couple of days.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help. Am I thinking in the right direction?
