First let me say thanks for TTP. I've had the pool running since June and I've learned tons from this forum.
I have a digital timer for my pump (two speed) and SWG and want to know if I'm running it correctly. I have been running the following schedule:
Start 8 a.m.
Run 1 hour on high w/ SWG running 1 hour at 100%
Run 4 more hours on low (w/o SWG)
Repeat the cycle starting at 2 p.m.
The pool is staying clean and clear, but I have had some trouble getting the FC levels dialed in. I realized today (now with a TF-100 and reading the Forum) that the FC is high and should be about 4. I have adjusted the SWG to run 40 minute twice a day and I will test to see if that levels it out at 4.
Is this schedule a good plan or does someone have better info? Also, I will need to modify the schedule to run on high about 5 hours mid-day so I can run the solar shortly. Does this sound about right?
Today's test results:
FC 6.5
TC 6.5
PH 7.5
TA 80
CYA 60
I realize the CYA is at the bottom of the range I will need to boost that soon.
