Chemical level thoughts?

[gresh1003]

Finally received the K-2006 and been monitoring myself for a week or so. I think I am close to where I should be for my pool. Just looking for any feedback and thoughts so I have a piece of mind I am in good shape. Attached are the levels as of this afternoon.

I would personally run a higher FC. I tend to use 10% of CYA with my SWCG. Leaves you room for attacks from birds, animals, or bather loads.

You need to be sure to add a temperature of the water to get a CSI. You are on the low side of CH for a gunite pool (you do not say in your signature what type of pool you have).

Take care.

Thanks for the reply, I update the signature to show it is shotcrete.

I was thinking the FC should be a bit higher. Is the best way to get a bit higher to turn up the SWG? It currently runs at 52%. Or is there a better way to do it? Thanks again for your help.

Your SWCG is designed to maintain your FC. So to increase your FC it is best to add liquid chlorine to do that. Then let the SWCG meet the daily needs.

Please look at your CH level. It is low for a gunite pool.

Take care.
