Hello! New member... first post. Our new pool has had water for about a week, and the readings after my first set of chemical additions look pretty great except for a high Chlorine. Here are my full test results.
Ph 7.5
Chlorine 21 (!!!) (used the dropper test from the big test kit recommended here)
CYA 70
TA 140
CH 125
CC 0
Salt level 3500
After the cheap test kit I had on day 1 showed a good pH but off-the-charts Chlorine, I turned down the SWG setting to 20%.
The pool is an inground vinyl-lined, 12x32, with a tanning ledge and 6' deep end (about 12k gallons). We keep a solar blanket on it. Water temp has been mid to high 80's.
Are there any recommendations for how to see that Chlorine level come down to a normal level? Will it be harmful to swim in? Should I turn the SWG fully off, and/or leave the solar blanket off for a while so the sun can eliminate more Chlorine from the water over time? Thank you for any recommendations.
