Hi All,
I just moved into my first home with a pool in Tucson, AZ. I brought my pool water to get checked at a pool store at the following are my stats:
FAC = 8
TAC= 8
CH = 1000
CYA = 200
TA = 160
PH = 7.1
Base = 6
Copper and Iron = 0
Total Dissolved Solids = 4000
Phosphates = 3000
They recommend draining the pool since the CH is so high and most of the other tests came out high too.
I know it's not good to drain a pool in the heat; however I'm thinking of draining it Friday night and filling it Friday night into Saturday since Friday will only be a high of 86 and Saturday there's only going to be a high of 77. Do you think those are dangerously high temps to do the draining and refilling?
I have a 10,000 gallon pool made of plaster that is 20 years or younger (the house was built in 1997 so can't be older than that). Also, I have a solar heater. Not sure if it would help if I heated my pool using my solar heater before draining it or if it's better to turn the heater off a few days before for cooler water.
All advice is welcome.
Thanks
