Did the mad scientist thing, with the aide of my daughter, who at 12 liked the color changes, and liked watching/helping with the basic 2 tube test...
SO here we go.....
16X48 Above Ground, been up a week now, tried the SWG, and I dont think its going to work, because my Calcium is probably to high, and it just coats the electrodes after about 5 hrs of running.....So unless there is an awesome way to cure that, i think its out......Came across a deal on a Sand filter, added it in last night, then a "dry" storm pushed through.....this morning things actually didnt look to bad, considering the wind and stuff blowing around....
Ok Results
This morning I just did the 2 tube....
Cl 0,
PH 7.8
Added some more acid 1/8th gallon and put a whole bag of shock in it this time....about 45 min apart....came back and tested 90 min later, filter running roughly 11 am
Cl 7
Ph 7.2
Ok so then I got the test out when it came in the mail
Now at 630 pm, with a day of swimming (man this pool has been busy)
PH 7.2
Cl 1
2 tube
TA 130-150 Lost track of my drops lol
Cal 525
FC 1.5
CC .5
TC 2
CYA never registered full tube
So where to start??? I am guessing I am doing ok with adding the acid I am, as the PH seems to be pretty close in range.
Keeping the CL levels??? its been hot and sunny as can be around here, so i am guessing i need to add some CYA in a sock to let it mix??
My TA looking ok?? and that bit of CC??
Thanks for the help.....and the water looks ok, not to cloudy, but not crystal like i have seen on here soooo
