My wife and I had a Wholesale Pool Supply Store in So. Ca for 17 yrs. We only sold to “Pool Guys or Girls” and not home owners so as not to compete with our customers just like SCP.
We sold our store in December 2014 to a Pool Guy. So we are rusty to say the least. Plus we are living in different area Sarasota, Fl
We have a small pool (12,000 gals) with a waterfall and two large vases which make nice water fall action. It really aerates the water.
We have an in-line tab feeder, an in-line ozone generator, and an in-line UV unit. We ordered this when Pool was built to hopefully minimize the need for chlorine, I am guessing some of the ozone may be depleted due to 3 waterfalls although they are small and only a few feet high. I think UV still helps even though outdoor pool.
We want to end pool service to save money being retired.
Even with service some of my numbers look a little off. Chlorine 5-10 ppm HIGH, Ph 8.2 High, Total Alkalinity 90 ppm Ok on low side. Pool guy probably using too many tabs....easy fix.
I am worried that by bringing down my Ph that The Total Alkalinity will get too low. Does all the rain in Florida push Total Alkalinity lower? If that is factor, bring down the Ph while trying to keep TA between 80 - 120 will always be a problem!
Thanks for any ideas.
PS. I am a little afraid of cancelling pool service then screwing up and getting too much scale or something I cannot fix!
