Hello guys, I'm new to pools, I've been reading the pool school but i have some problems.
Im in Colombia, elevation 7000 feet, water temperature averages 18 to 22 Celcius. i have just installed a SWG but i been trying to get the chemicals right. there are no pool stores here and they don't have the chemicals that we have in the states. i manage to get the PH right but every time i put chlorine in the pool, the next morning is gone. i have the right amount of salt (3500 ppm) but the salt chlorinator doesn't do enough . The water is nice and blue but with lots of particles inside.
I have no means of measuring CYA because the kit i have does not have it.
alkalinity is 50 ppm
Do I need to put a lot of chlorine to fix this ? they sell 70% granulated.
Ill appreciate any help you guys can give me and i hope this is the right place for my problem.
Thanks
Martin
