So this is my second experience with closing the pool and last year things must not have been done correctly because I had ammonia issues when I opened this last Spring 2017. As I prepare to close my pool, here are my current numbers:
FC = 5.0
CC = 0
Calcium = 175
Alkalinity = 170
PH = 7.6
CYA = 0
I am planning to backwash the system just to make sure the pump is clean and ready when it's time to start up next Spring 2018. However, I am hoping to get advice on what level to take my chlorine to. I have been using the TroubleFree methodology all summer again and the water has stayed perfect. I use the Menards liquid chlorine. I have increased the CYA throughout the summer but never really got it past 20. I didn't ever notice that I was losing too much chlorine so wasn't too concerned. When I tested it today, it was definitely "0".
Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.
