Recent water tests from local pool store 8/14.
After this, I followed some advice from pool store because I hadn’t found your forum yet.
After additions yesterday am, I found your site and have ordered the TF100 kit, which will be here later this week. And I downloaded and subscribed to the Pool Math app, which is where this log comes from.
==========================================
Walkley Pool
------------------------------------------
Build Type: Plaster
Volume: 31000 gallons
------------------------------------------
Latest Test Result Summary:
FC: 0.9 (17 hours ago)
CC: 0.6 (17 hours ago)
pH: 8.3 (17 hours ago)
TA: 169 (17 hours ago)
CH: 192 (17 hours ago)
CYA: 22 (17 hours ago)
==========================================
After these numbers, pool store had me add the following chemicals (but I was giving them estimate of volume 25000 gal; learned actual gallons = 31000 yesterday from builder):
1. CYA stabilizer but they told me to directly pour it into the skimmers, 3 lbs. which I did.
2. Add one gallon muriatic acid, which I did in two diluted parts separated by over six hours
3. 6 lbs of Calcium
4. Shock the pool. I added two pounds, of some shock chemical they sold me, in the pm.
4. My chlorine feeder is using tabs and set to run at 5. I’ve had trouble with the chlorine since pool turned over to me two weeks ago from builder. I now know I need to add bleach.
My plan, using the pool math app info, is to get 4 gallons bleach added to pool in next day, and retest pH, adding more acid as suggested by pool math based on my new numbers tomorrow AM.
—Anything I am missing?
—Did I waste chemicals or do harm by putting stabilizer directly in skimmers instead of in a sock for slow release?
thanks!
