Had a pool person for the last 5 or so years, but they retired so i'm going to give it a go myself.
Got the taylor k-2006 kit and just did my first testing:
FC - 4.6ppm
CC - 0.2ppm
CYA - 85
PH - 8
TA - 130
CH - 350
Adjustments:
Acid Demand test, to bring the PH to 7.4 i should add 1.72pints+1.72Qts (around 82oz) of muriatic acid liquid or 6.9lbs dry acid.
Calcium Hardness, the Pool Math app says to add 225oz/14lbs of Calcium Chloride
TA says to lower ph to 7.0-7.2, so maybe up the acid....not sure how much though.
FC says to add 105oz of 10% Bleach (assuming its liquid chlorine 10%), i thought i wouldnt need to add any at 4.6ppm
Cya seems pretty high, looks like i'm going to be ditching using tablets and stick with liquid. App says draining/refilling would be needed. Hopefully its not bad enough to require that. If so, how much? We're in the hot months, so hopefully evap and refilling would be sufficient.
Any advice before i head to the pool store? Is the chlorox stuff any good? Seems to be the most cost efficient.
