Hi all, I'm still very new, new fiberglass pool was finished about 6 weeks ago. For warranty purposes i'm supposed to get the water tested once a month at a pool store. I had the water tested yesterday, and today I ran my own tests (I meant to do my own tests yesterday as well but couldn't). I'm using the TF-100/K-1000 test kits.
I'm not sure how the formatting will show when I post, but the first number is the pool store reading, the second number is mine. And the last 3 items are only from the pool store, I don't test for those (should I?).
Pool Store Me
FC 5.23 7.5
CC 0 0
PH 7.8 7.8
CH 123 175
TA 82 80
CYA 86 50
Copper 0
Iron 0.1
Phosphate Ovr 2442
The only chemical I seem to have had to add is some acid a couple times to keep the PH in range. Otherwise I wasn't planning on adding anything else for the rest of the season (i'm in Toronto). The pool store however suggested I add 1) 2kg of Alkalinity Booster and 2) 2kg of Calcium Hardness Booster.
Any thoughts, comments, feedback on the above? Thanks!
