Hello All!
Our pool was installed last week, here in Kentucky. From the info I have gathered here, I am currently working to get my city water fill in perfect balance and then winterize.
Original numbers;
FC 0, PH 7.2, TA 70, CH 50
I added 95 oz. of 6% bleach per the Pool Math app
Recheck after running pump for 4 hours stats nearly identical.
I have removed my filtration cartridge and the aquasmarte plus mineral cartridges before running the pump and filtration system, in hopes of saving them until next year as I wasn’t sure if I could use them for a few days and then save them for next season... and they are pricey!
My questions are:
Are these test strips reliable until I can get a better testing kit?
Can I get this pool balanced and then winterized without using my filter cartridge and/or the mineral cartridges? Or should I use them and if so will I be able to save them for next season?
Thanks in Advance!
Kathy
