Greetings. I have been lurking around here for a while now way before our pool project had commenced. Our pool was completed this past Saturday (8/11/2018) with pool completely filled on Sunday morning!! Even my pool builder was surprised at the fill rate. I was not expecting the pool to be completed that quick so I procrastinated in purchasing the K-2006c test kit I wanted. Given the advice on here that the Leslie's test kit 81330 is an alternative, I ran over to purchase it. I also purchased the FAS-DPD 0870 & 0871 online. I have been monitoring my test results and I wanted to place them on here in the event I may have missed something or the veterans can offer some advise.
Backround: Once plaster was completed, my PB acid washed the pool. He will maintain it for a month and then turn it over to me. At this point he has just scrubbed the pool (wire brush) and placed 2 chlorine tabs in my skimmer; which are all gone as of tonight. This has gone against all that I have read but I have bitten my tongue and let him continue his process for warranty purposes.
These are my latest test results as of 30 minutes ago.
FC=1
CC=.5
PH=7.8
TA=60
CH=200
CYA=<30
Note: Weather down here is normally 100 degrees with 90% and above humidty most of the time!!! Pool gets full sun all day long.
I am bit concerned because I am starting to see discoloration on the pool surface. Dark blue and light blue patches. Should I be concerned or is this somewhat normal? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
