Hello All,
I live in LI New York and have set my pool to run Mon thru Fri stating a 4 AM thru 4 PM (this is due to the enormous increase in cost from 4pm thru 8PM). On the weekends, it run from 6 AM thu 9 PM (no extra cost).
I have read your post about testing in early evening, but unless I run the pump again after 8 PM, that is not going to happen. So I have been testing in the morning at 8 AM (see more info below), before the Sun starts to bake my pool, and after my SWG has been running 4 hrs.
I have a waterfall, but it mostly runs it on weekends, unless pool is being used during the week, which is rare.
The pool water has been crystal clear, no algae.
My numbers from this morning are:
FC: 5.6
pH: 7.7
TA: 60
CYA: 50 (still a bit low, and working on getting to the 70 TFP recommends).
CH: 50
Salt level is usually: 3200 PPM
SWG is running at 40%
I have NOT purchased the recommended test kit, yet - these numbers have been from the WaterGuru S2 that I recently purchased. My pool has been maintained my pool guy, and again, I have never had any issues - water has always been crystal clear, but I "feel" that he is using old pool math instead of TFP numbers. I am NOT at the Manorville house during the week, which is why I purchased the Waterguru to monitor it remotely.
So, I would apricate your thoughts on the testing time, and adjusting if needed. Is 8 AM good? Earlier? Or should I run the pump after 8 PM for an hour, and test then?
