Brand new pool (3 months old) and first time pool owner. I've just found this site and I'm going to implement the methods outlined here. I just have a couple of stupid questions to start with.
My cyanuric acid level is only 40 (bad advice from the never to be used again pool store) and I intend to raise to to approx. 75. What's the best way to put the cyanuric acid in the pool? Put it in the skimmers, broadcast it in the pool?
TFP recommends to run salt 200-400 above the manufacturers recommendation. My salt cell recommends 3600 (which is where I run it presently) Do I really need to run it 3800-4000? Will that affect my warranty if I do?
Current parameters
alkalinity 80
pH 7.6
salinity 3600
total chlorine 3
calcium?
Currently testing alkalinity and free chlorine with Hanna photometers, testing pH with a Hanna pH meter calibrated with 7.01 and 10.01 standards weekly. Have the recommended Lamotte test kit ordered.
