Hi just had a new pool put in and have been doing my research on the chem lvls, test kits and would like to do it all myself after seeing what local pool guys are like around here.
Specs
10000 gall / 40000 litre
Inground Fibreglass
Zx 250 Cartridge filter
Viron 320 xt VS pump
Viron v25 SWG
So my test kit is probably my let down at the moment. Aussie Gold 4 in 1 only tests for FC, acid demand PH and TA.
My pool is clear but I'm in the middle of landscaping my block so it cops a lot of dust. Weekly I vacuum and scrub the pool and daily check my filters on pump and skimmer clearing as necessary. I wash the cartridge filter monthly as it gets a work out at the moment. Pool runs in two 4 hour blocks at about 1400 rpm.
So my checks are today.
PH: 7.8
Acid demand indicated adding 200mls Acid
CL or FC: 2
TA was around 100 mg/l
* I will do another test tomorrow and take a sample to a shop for the others as i have no indication.
I am hesitant at this point to play too much with the water chemistry, don't want to be chasing my tail on it all.
I have the app as well as have looked at the links for pool abcs and correct lvls to familiarize myself.
Keen to learn and I think my pool is at a good starting point would like to get to know you all and be a gun at all things pool.
