Hello all ,
I will attach pics of my pool equipment and pool . My pool is a sports pool with 3 1/2 foot on each end with 5 1/2 in middle . Questions :
1.) Based on my equipment can I do water exchange with my pool pump and a hose or do I need a separate pump ? If so do I hook hose up and drain while adding fill water at same time ?
2.) Can someone tell me on average how much bleach they think I will need daily during the summer months vs winter once I get my CYA level back to normal . We are unable to add a SWG at this time and so we will be doing manual chlorination . I want to make sure I have and keep enough bleach on hand . Also when adding where do I add it ( if this is on pool school just tell me where as I am still reading )
3.) I have a spa with fountain as part of the pool . I assume this is why my ph climbs up easily ? In the past the pool store guy would raise my TA really high ... is it because trichlor drops it and so does the fountain . I am going to stop the tabs this next week when I drain / exchange the water .
