Hey all. Here are my numbers from my test kit and pool math suggestions:
RESULTS..........GOALS
FC: 0.5.............4
CC: 1
TC: 1.5
CH: 100............450
TA: 100.............80
PH: 7.5.............7.5
CYA: 10............80
We have been slowly draining some water before we get rain since our water is naturally very hard (started at like 600 or maybe more? A few weeks ago it was 500). Then we got 3 days straight of rain, over 5 inches, which resulted in having to drain the pool bc it was almost to the top of the coping. Then a week later, we got over 2 more inches of rain, which is why the CH dropped so much.
I have entered the data into the Pool Math calculator and I also tweaked the goals (within the ideal ranges) to try to get the CSI close to 0. I am posting the goals and suggestions and I just want to make sure I am doing this right as we never got pool school from the PB.
I have been reading all the different posts about lowering TA, raising CYA, and it starts getting confusing trying to take it all in.
We have stabilizer and liquid chlorine and salt (for swg) and I am still looking for the best deal for calcium chloride. I did read to focus on the FC, TA, and CYA first and leave CH for last.
Between going to one page to read about TA and then having to click a link to go to another page about CYA, and going back and forth is just spinning me in a circle. So any help, esp help that is easy to understand is very appreciated. Between my own health, family member's health, my horse's health, having to get an attorney bc PB never finished punch list, and a slew of other things, I am just mentally tapped out right now so laymen terms are even better.
Pool matg says to add 103 oz of 10% chlorine, 1192 oz by weight of calcium chloride, and 215 oz by weight of stabilizer. Current parameters list the CSI at -0.55 and the goals column is listed at -0.16.
Can we add salt AND liquid chlorine since salt level is low too?
Thanks for any help.
