Hi everyone,
I'm Kristijan from Croatia. I've bought a house with 4500gal inground pool. It's my first season and I have managed to keep crystal clear water by myself and information from internet.
So far I've been extensively testing for FC and pH, trying to understand every change i do to my pool, but testers for other chemicals are on their way and then i will hopefuly manage to mantain well balanced water.
I use muriatic acid to lower pH almost every day, as it tends to rise. I don't know my TA yet.
To keep FC levels in check i use sodium dichloroisocyanurate dihydrate, but as i understand it is probably rising CYA over time, which i can't measure yet. I'd like to switch to bleach but i have to study it some more to determine the amount, and possible downsides. I have some 13% sodium hypochlorite on hand.
Also, i noticed some scaling on plaster lately, so i'll have to adress that too.
A wonderful community i see around here is a real blessing in this often confusing world of pools, where information can often be contradictive.
Glad to be here
