Hi all! A little backstory: new build completed 12/2018. PB dropped the ball on startup and pool school. I hired a pool service company to get me started and maintain the pool over winter. My intent was to let them continue thru the summer so I could enjoy my new pool and figure out TFPC.
The pool service has maintained good levels to now, based on what I track with the TFTK. I think I'm ready to take over maintenance. I've got a couple gallons of muriatic acid, couple gallons of 10% bleach and a few lbs of borax & baking soda. I know (now) not to use the pucks, despite buying a dispenser (although what about using to add CYA then switching to bleach?).
One question, why dispense in front of returns or over the deep end, instead of in the skimmer like I see the pool service do?
Here's my readings from this morning after 3 days of pool activity.
Any advice? Wish me luck!
