Hello everyone!
I had a pool put in last year with a SWG. Needless to say I am pretty new (green) at this. Was trying to maintain the pool blind last summer and it ended up rather cloudy and green. I sought help from a pool company and they gladly helped out and charged me what I assume was the industry standard price for that service. Afterwards, I winterized the pool successfully (no cracked or damaged pipes or skimmer). Fast forward to today. I stumbled upon TFP recently and concluded that I wish to learn to do my own testing and maintaining. I bought a Taylor K-2006 SALT test kit and have tested the Free and Combined Chlorine (0.2 ppm), and the CYA (20). Super low! Next is to download the Pool Math app and figure out the amount of chemicals I need to bring everything up to the right levels. Wish me luck.
