Now the hard part. Making sense of all these numbers.
My pool has had water for exactly 14 days. On the 3rd day, they came and did an Acid Bath for my Quartzscape finish. On the 6th day, they told me to raise PH with sodium carbonate before turning on the equipment. (Thank goodness for the PoolMath app.) The equipment has been running 24/7 since it was turned on, 8 days now. When can I reduce the run time?
They came to turn on my IntelliChem system (my plan is to us it just for acid). I know I should have just got the IntelliPh. (That is what I ordered and paid for, but they gave me the IntelliChem.) The Pool Guy said he needed to turn on the IntelliChlor in order to setup the IntelliChem and he left it running. All the lights are Green running at 100%, but the RED low salt light is on. He told me it's fine, and to wait two more weeks before adding Salt.
By the way, my water is pretty clear and my numbers have been relatively stable. I haven't had to add a lot of chemicals (except acid & bleach) to maintain my numbers.
These are my numbers as of 4:15 pm, today.
FC 2.5 (I will add bleach to bring it to 4.0 according to PoolMath)
CC 0.5
pH 7.9 (According to IntelliChem, but 7.5 per the drop test. Which one is more accurate?)
TA 80
CH 350
CYA 20 (I added stabilizer on Saturday, it has all dissolved as of today. I will add more stabilizer tomorrow.)
My concern is my Salt cell. Is there a way to turn it off? I don't want to risk damaging it, even though it looks like most of the plaster dust was dissolved during the 3 day acid bath.
Any advice, recommendations or guidance is very much appreciated.
