Hi,
I had posted back in September when we first moved into our house as a first time pool owner. Wife and I decided to hire a pool company for a month to learn and observe what they did. Since November I've been managing the pool myself, doing the chemistry, pool cleaning and even the filter cartridge cleaning (proud of that one). For full disclosure I was using Lesile's water check to get my chemistry numbers but I've realized in the past month that I can't match with their numbers when I do my own testing. So, I decided to ditch Lesile and fully commit to my own testing. I've been getting better at doing the tests but still need more practice.
OK so now for my numbers:
FC:12
CC:0
pH:7.4
TA:140
CH:400
CYA:210 (did the dilution test)
I know my CYA is really high and for that reason I've kept the FC high as well. I think my best course of action would be to do a half drain at least?
Fill water numbers:
pH: 7.6 (maybe higher, couldn't get a great read here)
TA: 170
CH: 50 (I think, not great at this test. Although I do have my water districts's water report and it mentions Calcium at 42ppm and Hardness as CaCO3 as 179) (http://crossroadsus.com/ccr/2019/2018-CCR-WACH.pdf)
Any other course of action I should consider here?
Thanks.
