Hello TFP, I recently fired the pool service company and have started maintaining my pool chemistry myself. I purchased the TFTestkit with the smart stir since I am new to this. I am reasonably confident that I am performing the tests correctly, but I have no experience to rely on.
background: after receiving my TFTestkit & firing the pool service company, My test results for FC were less than 1ppm. I am 100% positive the service company was maintaining my pool with chlorine tablets. After finding the low FC level on 4-25-2022, I added several gallons of 10% LC to get some chlorine into the pool. Truthfully I dont remember exactly how many gallons I added to get it to 21.5ppm FC, but I think it was somewhere between 4-6gallons.
my pool is 35,000 gal in ground gunite/plaster in Houston TX, and gets full sun from 9am-7pm during this time of year. Water temperature has been in the low to mid 80's.
I am looking for validation that I am on track and performing these tests correctly, and if I forgot something please let me know. I'd appreciate any insights.
Thank you all,
