Hello Everyone,
I have been lurking on this forum for a while and have decided to take a stab at doing my own pool chemical balance.
Pool guy was using pucks and adding liquid chlorine once a week. It’s only been a week on my own and noticed a little algae on the sunny side wall of pool. I checked chlorine level and it was extremely low so I added a couple gallons of liquid chlorine and brushed pool really well and ran pump overnight.
I tested water today and here are my readings.
9 F/C
.6 C/C
8.0 PH
50 CYA
100 CH
Water temp is 80 degrees
I have a couple questions.
Will the C/C drop in another day or so?
Also Calcium Hardness is really low and wondering the safest way to raise it slowly?
Thank you!
Steve
