Hello fellow pool owners. I bought a home last fall with an inground saltwater pool. It has an Aqua Rite system. I had a pool company come out and open it for me on Thursday. They dumped 3 bottles of a white powdery substance and a bottle of blue liquid (after they opened the pool). They recommended that I go back to their store to test my water today so I did. Here are the results that are not ideal:
CYA: 29
Tot. Chlorine: 7.4
FC: 7
pH: 7.1
Adj. Total Alk: 63
Tot. Hardness: 143
Borates 13
They recommended that today, I:
1. Pour 1 bottle strip kwik through skimmer with basket out while backwashing. Then backwash and rinse and repeat with Kleen It.
2. 1.5 bottles saltscapes shock
1 bucket optimizer
9.5 lbs lo n slo
5.5 bottles stain & seale
1 bottle stabilizer
Day 2:
1 bucket optimizer
9.5 lbs lo n slo
20 lbs BP 100
Weekly:
1.5 renewals into water
Is this what I'm supposed to be doing? I'm quite shocked that I'm putting in this much chemicals into a saltwater pool, but I'm also brand new with this.
