First time pool owner. This morning I finally get the K-2006 test kit and did the first test, here is the result:
12x32 inground, sand filter, vinyl, not very sure about the volume, one store shows 79939 liters, other shows 61203 liters, but I guess it will about 20k gal? Cannot see the bottom of deep end to tell the change of the bottom.
FC: 0.6
CC: 1.2
PH: 7.0 ( did base demand test add CR-0006 6 drop will change to colour close to 7.4)
CYA: 55ppm ( between 50-60 line should we round up to 60ppm) question for this test kit, the CYA reagent won't even last for 2 test, is that normal? I will have to find out where can I get this reagent for CYA if we need to test it often.
TA: 120 ( star to change colour at 11 drop)
CH: 130 ( start to change colour at 11 drop)
Pool open at May 25, add bunch 65% granulated chlorine, did 2 vacuum to waste, 2 filter backwash, still seems cloudy, add 10 liters of 10.3% liquid chlorine last night ( assume 40ppm CYA and want to raise to 16 ppm for FC) and run the pump all night. I think we need to continue the SLAM but
Do I need to adjust PH while do SLAM or before continue the SLAM ? I am worried about the lower ph will damage the liner and equipment.
Store result for ph was
May 29 store 1: PH 7.4 CYA 0ppm
May 31 store 2: PH 7.1 CYA 40ppm
The only thing we added other than granulated chlorine and liquid chlorine is stabilizer which store 1 suggest to add 4*900 g but I only added 3*900 g
another question, can you do SLAM with the pool solar blanket on for day time?
Thanks so much for the help.
