I’ve read so much on this, and know that I should take the pool stores guidance with a grain of salt. Typically, it is to buy product. I even went to second store and was surprised they brushed me off when I was concerned about .5ppm CC.
I have a salt pool, above ground, fiberglass, about 11,000 Gallons. I use the Taylor K-2006C test kit. I’m preparing to leave town for a few weeks and leaving my pool in the hands of some friends and want to make sure I’m walking away with peace of mind that everything is balanced.
Yesterday morning my readings were:
FC 3.8
CC .6
Ph 7.8
Alk 140 (unadjusted for CYA)
CYA 65
Temp 85
Salt 3400
My water is very clear.
the pool store wanted me to adjust oh and then add 2.25 lbs of Super Soluble. This did not sit right with me so using another calculator I have I only added about .75 pounds of super soluble after adjusting my PH. I did this yesterday afternoon.
This AM my FC is 7.5 and CC is still .5
will CC take a while to go down? Did I not do enough? At 10x, I would think FC of 6ppm+ would reduce CC.
the pool dealers in my area are not helpful. One is always trying to convert me off salt.
Should I be concerned about these numbers?
