New plaster (Wet Edge finish) pool - water has been in about 4 weeks now. I am about to take over the care of the pool.
I have been testing the pool about once a week with TF-100 kit. Latest results below:
FC: 2.5
CC: 0
pH: 8.2 (was 7.5 a four days prior) - I added a little muriatic acid to lower it based on Pool Math app)
TA: 70
CH: 175
CYA: 0 (though I can start to see water "cloud up")
Salt: 2800 (using Taylor K-1766)
Temp: ~66*
PB has been using pucks and adding muriatic acid. PB should be coming back this week to add some more salt.
So questions:
1) I know the IC60 won't work as well now that the water is into the 60's. My thought was to just go ahead and turn it off in EasyTouch and use liquid chlorine till it warms back up?
2) What should I target next? I am thinking I should get the CH up? TA seems good and it hasn't moved since I started testing the water weekly.
3) I've read on a few posts about no real need to raise CYA during cold months. Should I leave it at 10? Raise it a tad? Take it to slightly below recommended level?
Water looks good, actually surprisingly good (surprising to me anyway).
Since we are in the Houston area, we don't have plans to close the pool. Any ideas and suggestions welcomed.
thanks!
