Good Afternoon All!
I am in need of some direction after some recent readings of my pool chemicals. To background, gunite pool, about 13000 gallons, I do have an inline chlorinator and I typically supplement with bleach. Currently my readings from the kit I bought on here reads:
FC-12
CC-.5
TC-12.5
CH-400
TA-90
CYA-90
PH 7.5
We have really hard water here and our CH has always hovered in the higher 300's or so. I also looked back in my notes I keep and our CYA has averaged 60-90 as well. We have had some recent rains so I assume some things are out of wack from that. About a month ago I had turned up the chlorinator to about 3, probably a bit pre-mature since it's not warmed up to swimming weather here in Oklahoma. I have since turned it to zero to try to bring the FC down. That has brought it down from 15 on Sunday. Can I assume that if I leave the chlorinator off for a day or two more with daily testing it will come down on its own? I appreciate all insight.
