Hello TFP! We recently moved in to a new house with a beautiful two year old pool. We had a pool professional at the old place but I think it's time to try this out for myself. Here's what I know so far:
- ~6800 gallon pool with a ~600 gallon spa
- Pentair EasyTouch control system (with ScreenLogic)
- Pentair IntelliFlo VS pump
- Pentair IntelliChlor IC-40 SWCG
- Pentair BioShield UV system
- Pentair Clean & Clear cartridge filter
- Pentair MasterTemp 400 heater
- A&A in-floor pool cleaning system (6 zone?)
I've ordered a TF test kit, but until it gets here I ran a test at Leslie's and here is where I'm at:
FC 4.5, pH 8.4, TA 120, CH 233, 5 CYA, 4133 Salt
It looks like my first order of business is to get that pH down? I just added about 16 oz of muriatic acid and am letting that mix.
The SWCG reads 5400ppm of salt, I'm wondering if the delta from Leslie's test means it's ready for cleaning? The chlorine was very low when I tested it initially so I ran it in superchlorinate for the last 24 hours which brought it up to the 4.5 on Leslie's test.
I will attach some pictures of the system, there are a lot of valves and I might need some help learning to operate everything.
Thank you and my apologies in advance for what will no doubt be a long series of silly questions!
