I just bought a house with a pool and brought a sample to the local store for a free test. The water is clear, there is a little yellow/brown "dirt" that comes right off when you brush it with your feet. The pool I think was left alone for the 3 weeks in escrow, then the owner came back and cleaned it up some.
FAC 10
TAC 10
CH 130
CYA 90
TA 120
pH 7.6
Copper 0
Iron 0
TDS 500
Pho 1000
The pool store told me that the chlorine and phosphates are way too high, and that I should consider a copper treatment for the algae. They also said to add Alkalinity Up or Soda Ash.
The owner states that he puts a chlorine tab in each skimmer basket. I do notice that the plastic is brittle in the skimmer boxes, so I am not sure I want to continue doing this. However a float is annoying how it gets stuck. Whats best?
They estimated my pool at 15,000 gallons, but they just used a LxWxD guesstimate. The pool has a deep end where there used to be a diving board. Any idea how many gallons the pool might be (see attached images, units are in inches)
Can anyone tell if the equipment is good? It all appears to be working.
