Good Morning!
I will suggest the hard PVC to the guys. My husband ordered fittings and was waiting for them to come so he can match up sizes, but it might be better to get the pvc and then get fittings to fit that. I don't know.
But we do need to do something soon because I think circulation is getting slower and slower.
I finally got the R-0871 yesterday. (Fast shipping!) I tested pool last night after a HOT day of swimming:
about 9 pm: FC 17.5 and CC .5
According to poolmath, I added 66 oz. bleach to get FC up to 31. (after some vacuuming)
about 10 pm, I checked - FC was between 27.5 and 29.5. I say between because after sitting for a few seconds, it would get pinker so I'd add another drop - which I did about 4 times. Is that fair?
Then this morning I checked at 6:20 - FC was 32.5! (that's what I mean about poor circulation)
With the same water sample taken from the 6:20 check, I checked at 8:30 this morning just to see what it would read: FC 28.0 and CC .5 as usual.
The thing is is the drops, even though I'm holding it in the proper position, come out inconsistently, so sometimes it seems like two drops come out instead of one, so I count it as two. Is that fair?
That's why I think I get differently numbers, too.
The water looks beautiful.
What do you think?
I would like to start letting the FC drift down to normal levels for SWG and start running that and getting the pH and TA under control - although, I definitely need better circulation for that.
Also, I did put a nylon stocking over the skimmer basket - it collects a ton of stuff - especially the LINT from neighbor kids who wear tee shirts and linty clothes - not stuff made out of bathing suit material.
But the pool water looks wonderful!
Today's supposed to be super hot - 97 - and sunny.
