Water Chemistry
I have a new inground pebbelTec / Chlorine pool. It was filled in November but we have not been able to use it because of a Gas meter shortage in my area. Because no one can use it, my focus has been keeping the PH/AK balanced. I also wanted to ensure I had a calcium so I added that at a couple weeks after it was filled, that currently sits around 240. Occasionally, I have done is 3x, I add a couple pounds of Dichlor shock to keep the water clear. Warm days are coming (Im in the Atlanta GA area, so I need to start thinking about maintaining Chlorine. I have very low CYA. 10-13 PPM. I don't want to deal with High CYA so I have been hesitant to add stabilizer and have been adding the dichlor shock to slowly raise it. How should I go about raising CYA, what should I raise it to. should I get some tabs and use my inline chlorinator.
Cartridge Filters
When my filter cartridges were new, the pressure was 20psi. It got up to 30 so I cleaned them over the weekend. I thought I did a good job, they looked white again. When I put them back and started the system, the PSI was 28. only a -2psi change. Not sure why... Not sure if this is normal.
