I just retested my pool. The water is 52 so the SWG is not producing chlorine as it is reading cold. I’m not sure testing the water this cold can have an affect so I’m not sure where to turn but I know so far there are some great people on here who can help as I’m newer to this so trying to figure everything out.
1) should I buy a thermal blanket to try and keep the water warmer? The pool does not have a heater, just an emergency freeze should the water temp get to freezing. Currently it is set to 36 degrees. Is this ok?
2) I just retested the water. Attached is an image of what I got as readings. I’m not sure to retest tomorrow when it’s warmer or do what the pool calculator tells me?
I posted today’s results and my results from 11/30 (which I added Borax and baking soda per the recommendations.) The first 4 pics are today’s tests. The addition 3 images are 11/30’s test and adds.
Thank you for your help in advance. I don’t want to screw this up.
