Greetings new friends. Just moved to central FL from Seattle area. Closed on our house yesterday. Finally had time to use my Taylor test kit and see where things are. Wasn't sure if I should post results here to get advice or in another place. In any event, the kids are anxious to get in pool so i will give it a shot here. This pool was managed by pool service with previous owner, but I am not willing to pay someone else to do it...thus I am here. My main issue with the first chlorine test I ran is that the initial test for free chlorine registered as the darkest pink color, and when I added the last reagent to get the total chlorine, the color didn't change...they were both the dark pink color reading of 10. Here are the other readings I obtained.
PH 7.4
Ca Hardness 230
Total alkalinity 600
CYA 100
Temp is 84
This a smaller pool of approximately 10k gallons with a spa. We have a natural gas heater(nit currently running)The pump has a pressure reading of 15 and I'm pretty sure they have it cycling 12hr on 12 off.
Any advice as to what I should do first?
Thanks
