Fired my pool guy a while back and got a new guy. Long story short, our pool equipment is all being used at our rental and I’m not buying all new stuff, so relying on pool service until the lease is up and I can retrieve my stuff and go back to caring for the pool 100% myself. I have however taken more of a roll in balancing the chemicals because we have a problem and him coming once a week isn’t enough maintenance right now.
To make matters worse, while we were out of town, our pet sitter turned on the pool filler and forgot to turn it off...FOR A WEEK!! We live on acreage so no one noticed and we came home to a flooded property and pool with essentially no chemicals.
So fwiw the salt cell and filter have both been cleaned.
Pool guy tested and advised us to put in 11 bags of salt and 8 lbs of CYA. We did that and although the display is reading 3100 ppm salt level, pool guy tested it last week over 4000.
This is what I get every time I test no matter how many gallons of acid I pour in...
