First set of numbers!

[jeffrey_cessna]

Hi all,

Just got my test kit in and was able to get a good set of numbers. I have not chlorinated since last night (6pm CST) and it has been raining like crazy today!!

FC 4
CC .5
PH 7.2
CYA 40

I haven't done any other tests yet due to the weather.

I will want to raise my FC to 7, which is where I prefer it... I will raise the PH just slightly with the fountain... Any other thoughts?? Thank you all!

Too much lightning right now and ran out water (ugh)

 

[jeffrey_cessna]

Ok lightning stopped...

TA 60

All is good. Maintain the FC in target range.

Just added 2 qts to bring my FC from 4 to a little above 7. Get new test in the morning.

Did another test this evening after a ton of rain all day.... FC was down from above 7 to 4.5 now?? Would there be that dramatic of a drop from that amount of rain (exceptional amount) in the FC? I did do a test of CC 0 so that is better. Should I raise my CYA to 50 from 40???

I think that this is great news!! Been in FL for a week (7 days) and just returned tonight. Before we left, I brought my CC up to shock level (16). The pool had no cover and is in full sun all day and still had CC of 1.5!! Even though it is obviously low, 7 days with no maintenance or chlorine...this seems good.

Thoughts?

Water looks good? Raise chlorine to normal target and do OCLT, just to make sure.

Water looked great and just did an overnight test.... held CC at 7 where I brought it to last night!! This has been great!
