Hi
I am contemplating fitting a UV system to help with a build up of CC which I experienced last season.
we live in the north of England where temperatures don’t get too high and the pool season lasts for 6 months. To make the pool more usual we had an enclosure fitted 2 years ago which is a great addition.
The enclosure has a polycarbonate roof with UV filter and glass walls. The central section of the enclosure does slide back so the pool theoretically gets some UV exposure but to be honest the weather is rarely good enough for that in England. Hence the CC problem due to low UV exposure.
last season I ended up having to SLAM the pool a couple of times but then have the problem that it took an age to get the FC levels back down to normal for the same reasons.
So I’m now thinking of fitting a UV system to break down the CC and running with a lower FC level.
My latest test results are
FC 4.2
CC 0.2
Ph 7.5
TA 160
CH 275
CYA 25
Temp 27c
Thanks for any thoughts / pros / cons
cheers
Ian
