I accidently added enough LC to get my FC level to 50!!!! Will I damage my vinyl liner?
Full story -
I have not opened my pool (in NJ - plan to open next week). I just assumed I didn't have any FC so I tested it using the K-1000 just to get a sense and when I saw it was clear, I dumped about 2 gallons of FC. Tested again and it was barely showing anything, so I dumped about 2 more gallons. Tested with K-1000 again and was just slightly pink. So then I tested with the drop (FAS/DPD) and quickly realized my mistake. I accidently used the R-0003 solution instead of R-0014. I should have realized when the solution was slightly pink and not yellow. Major mistake on my part. So when I did the FAS/DPD test, I used 100 drops of R-0871 before it became clear (FC = 50 ppm).
Everything is still closed, I just opened the corner of the cover to get some LC in the pool because I didn't want to open up to a swamp. I had added some about 2 weeks ago and just assume all of the FC was used up but I must of had some to get the FC up to 50 ppm.
