First rebalance test

[1stTimePoolMom]

Hello all - added salt and stabilizer. here’s my results. Suggestions? .
Haven’t turned in chlorinator yet, will do so for a few hours this afternoon then retest.

I would add some liquid chlorine/regular bleach now to about 4-5 ppm just to keep the algae away until you get the SWG on and adjusted. The pH is a bit low, but should rise on its own shortly. I wouldn't take any action on the pH at this time, just watch it over the new few days to ensure it creeps up to the 7.5-7.8 range.

Are these numbers after an OCLT. Why the FC so low?

SWGs are slow to produce chlorine. There is no way your SWG will get you in the proper range in a few hours, or the whole day for that matter. You should raise it to the proper level with liquid chlorine and then maintain the FC with the SWG.

How do I figure out how much Liquid chlorine bleach to use?

Touch the FC button on your Overview page. Revise the FC target, if desired, check that you have the proper pool volume, adjust the liquid chlorine % if necessary, and the app will tell you how much to add.

how did you get your water temperature up to 70?
I am in Alabama, and my pool temp is barely above 60 right now, so I NEED to know your secret!

Solid blanket!!’

 

[1stTimePoolMom]

Well- looks like I way overshot the FC. Have shut off chlorinator and pulled the solar blanket off half the pool to let the sun do it’s thing.
Question- should I try to adjust the AL and CY now or wait until the FC is more in line. Didn’t know if addressing in will impact the others.
Advice? TIA!

 

[mknauss]

No reason to adjust anything at this time. The CYA could come up to 70 ppm once you no longer cover the pool for summer.

With the cya at 50 your still good and can still swim. Let it drift down on its own. Leave the SWCG off and watch it.
