hi - we installed a pool 1 month ago and I'm so confused! Its a 21K gallon fiberglass pool with a SWG. i'm really confused on what targets to use for chemicals.
The pool handbook from the pool manufacturer (Leisure pools), says our targets are :
pH – 7.2-7.4- not higher due to calcium buildup
TA – 80-120
CH – 150-200 (also says there NO reason to add calcium Chloride to pool ever)
FC 1-2
Stabilizer 30-50
But the TFP SWG article says it should be :
pH – 7.2-7.5
TA – 60-80
CH – says 350 in one spot, at the end it then says - (220-320)
FC – 4-6
Stabilizer – 70-80
TFP chemical "calculator" when I put in fiberglass/SWG says PH 7.6-7.8 and CH 350-550 (rest the same)
The local Pool store (Leslies) - I got a TFT-100 test kit, but also took water there, they recommend:
Ph 7.2—7.8
TA 80-120
CH – 200-400
FC 1-4
CYA 50-100
Which one of these should I go by?? Why is the FC rec so much higher in the TFT SWG article?
Can't figure out if I am reading something wrong somewhere.
thank you for any help!
