I was reading a random post here where someone asked about undissolved salt looking stuff on the pool floor. I always had a bit of this thru the years and thought nothing of it, so I did the white vinegar test and it fizzed! I always thought it was just fine dirt/stuff that blown in through the screen enclosure.
My CSI is just a hair negative, maybe it creeps to zero but I always have been adding one cup of muratic acid once per week, to keep the ph below 8 when it creeps.
The latest numbers are:
FC 7
Ph 7.8
CYA 50
TA 70
CH 350
Salt 3200
cc 0
My question is: stay the course because everything is normal, or should I change something to get the CSI lower?
My current maintenance, this is my 3rd season with a swg:
I hose out my SWG every 4 months, with only a touch of scaling seen on a few of the plastic screen/slots at the end of the summer high run time which I clean with a plastic zip tie end, and a once a year 90-minute soak in white vinegar typically in november.
As I sized my swg to 4x pool capacity (universal_40 on a 10,000 gallon pool), my run time is only 6-7 hours (split in two phased 9am-noon and 2-5pm) in the summer from june-august at the peak (single stage pump with swg set at 100%), then gradually tapering off to maybe an hour per day in the winter. This easily keeps my low point fc at 7-8 when tested in the morning.
Thanks!
