(I don't know whether I should start a new thread, but I have the same situation as the OP)
My salt water pool is now running for one week. Still crystal clear but I guess not for long.
The company has put too much salt in it. My pool is about 12 kGallon. They put 250 kg of salt instead of (according to my calculation) 140 kg.
No other chemicals were added...
This Tuesday I expect the arrival of 5 kg of cyanuric acid. I will use 3 kg of that. Correct me if I'm wrong please.
Then I need to put chlorine to bring the concentration at a level so the chlorinator can keep up. Here in Spain, I can buy 2 liter bottles of "lejia" in the supermarket. The label says: "hipoclorito de sodio, 37grams of active cloro per liter". Would this be the right stuff? How much should I put in? Lejia in Spain is commonly used as disinfectant/bleach. Wikipedia says hipoclorito is NaClO.
Unfortunately in Spain I cannot buy the testing kit promoted on this site, nor the Taylor 2006C kit... Do you have any suggestions what alternatives to use? I have a pH probe that supposedly is calibrated at the factory. The pH reads 7.8.
After the addition of the cyanuric acid and the chorine, what effect on the pH can I expect?
Do I need to add other chemicals to bring alkalinity into the ballpark? Any other recommendations?
