Newbie Testing

[greggjess]

I just got my test kit on Saturday. This is on a new pool where the builder shocked it a few times then added salt and SWG.

Sat test
PH 8.2
FC 0
CYA 0

Per PoolMath App instructions I added 4 lbs CYA (.5 lb-ish still undissolved), 17 oz MA and increased run time (from 8 hrs to 11 hrs) on SWG. I'm still learning how to manipulate the purification % on my SWG.

Today's test
PH 7.5
FC higher than 5 (it was really bright yellow)
CYA 50

I feel like I'm headed in the right direction so I guess my question is where should I put my runtime and purification % for the SWG? The hubs likes to run the pump all day to keep the surface moving so we have it set for 10am-9pm right now.

Not sure if it is in my siggy but we have the AutoPilot PPC2+Nano.

Congrats on your TF-Pro tests. In the future, please list them as follows:
FC
CC
CYA
PH
TA
CH

From what I see here, you improved considerably. I would still increase the CYA by another 10-20 ppm so that you get closer to 70 minimum CYA. For the FC testing, use the FAS-DPD (powder & drops) as that will provide a very accurate FC number. Also post your TA next time just so we can be sure it's okay. CH shouldn't be a big deal with fiberglass, but go ahead and post that next time as well.

You're doing much better now than before.

I'm slowly getting my way through all the tests...baby steps so my head doesn't explode lol

My salt test just said 4400ppm I'll test again tomorrow and this time do ALL of them.
