Hello everyone.

I just closed on a house with a pool, but won't be able to take possession for a month (rent back). I don't know who has been maintaining the pool so far but it looks very well kept. Of course being here I would like to take over the maintenance myself :). I have been learning as much as I can before doing so.

One of the first things I want to do is convert the pool to salt. I have a TF-Pro Salt Kit and was able to get some water from the pool during the inspection. I logged the result into Pool Math to establish a baseline for how they had it. The results were,

FC = 1.5
CC = .5
pH = 7.5
TA
CH
CYA = 30
Salt = 1000
Water temp.

I know those really are meaningless because there isn't anything I can do about them at this point, just thought I would put them up. I am including photos of the pool and the pad. As you can imagine I am going to have some questions about the plumbing :oops:.

I am very glad to be here!

Welcome - ball valves often fail, so you should plan to replace before that happens.
Otherwise, water chemistry doesn't look too bad and you'll get it squared away quickly.

A salt water chlorine generator would do you well for ease of use.
