Hello all! I purchased a house with a pool in November and started going to the local pool store immediately. Several weeks of tests and they determined I needed to drain and refill my pool due to a high TDS reading. Per their recommendation we waited until spring to drain and refill it. After pumping then filling the pool 1/4 to 1/3 at a time… the store employees are telling me to keep replacing the water. I’m skeptical and currently waiting for my Taylor K-2006C test kit to come in.
I’d love some guidance because I feel like I’m being duped by the store employees, especially from the little I’ve read here so far. I did the local stores “pool school” but it wasn’t very helpful and he didn’t spend much time explaining our equipment, just telling us stories of crazy pool stuff he’s seen. Here’s some information about my pool, including the paper the previous owners left me. I also include a picture of today’s pool store results.
The pool is on ground, relatively small.
I think the pool school guy estimated it at 7500 gallons.
Per the previous owners it’s ceramic over fiberglass.
I’m in Las Vegas, NV, with some of the hardest water in the country. We do have a water softening system.
Let me know if there’s any other information you need. All help is appreciated!!
