Hi!
Tested my water this morning and things seem a little off and wanted to make sure I'm getting things straight before I'm out of town for a week.
Current test:
FC - 19.5! Was 14 five days ago and 12 two weeks ago and have an SWG.
CC -.5
pH - 7.8
TA - 100
CH - 375, but was 375 before I added 20 lbs of calcium chloride earlier in the week (I was trying to raise it)
Salt - 2800 (was 3000 five days ago)
CYA - measured 2 weeks ago at 80
My pool has been cruising along after getting help from everybody here. In the past few days, we've had a ton of rain - almost to the point where I thought I may have to drain a little bit, so I'm thinking something with the rain is creating this.
My questions:
Why is chlorine increasing at such a fast rate when over the past month, it's been generally steady except when I had to add some liquid chlorine about 2.5 weeks ago when I got low and it seems to keep rising with only my SWG? My SWG is currently running 24X7 (recommendation from here) and has generally been maintaining my chlorine until this week where it is rising like crazy!
Should I add more calcium even though it seems like it made no difference when I added 20 lbs of calcium chloride this week?
Should I raise my salt again as I just added 40 lbs of salt 2 weeks ago?
My SWG diagnostics are attached.
Pool is about 3 years old.
Thanks in advance!
Bobby
