Hello,
I've got some of my pool stats creeping up and it seems that I need to get about 35% or so of my water exchanged. It seems it's best to do an exchange vs a drainage/fill. So I have a question on procedure. Typically I'm reading if you are using city water that comes out colder than pool which is basically any water here in Texas then put the fresh water hose at the bottom of the pool and drain from the top-ish if using a sump. I currently don't have a sump but could get one if needed. When I first had a service guy out he said I could drain water from this water spout installed inline with the pool equipment (see photo). I didn't ask much more questions wise since I wasn't doing any of this back then. My guess is if I'm putting fresh water in at the same rate, it shouldn't drop below the skimmer so I could run the equipment as normal, the spout is after the pump & filter, so can I just run a hose from that to the street and drain, and run a hose from the house to fill and just keep testing until my CYA & CH come back down? Last full reading using TF-100.
Latest Readings:
Water Temperature: 89
Chlorine:
Total Alkalinity Test: 150
Calcium Hardness Test: 400
CYA Test: 70
CSI: 0.60
