opening time - water replacement

[Suley]

Hello everyone!

Time to open is nearing and last season I closed with the following results:

CYA 50
TA 70
pH 7.4
CH 790
TEMP 58F
FC 10
CC 0

I would like to change some water at opening to bring down the CH.

Does anyone know if you need a permit to do so in Los Angeles, CA area especially due to the drought?

Thanks!

No idea, but welcome back!

We have some CA pool owners here, so hopefully they will weigh in.

Thanks! I was in lurk mode...

Hello Suley,
You can run your pool with CH that high. You'll just have to control/run lower your PH.

Thanks! But the water was tasting a bit salty last year too.
Anything I can do to reduce the taste?

Don't drink pool water. sorry couldn't resist.
