Hey everyone,
I just found this site, about 4-5 days ago, I think I have been on it non stop ever since.
I live in Arizona, we built our pool 4 years ago, I will admit, my methods for maintaining my pool, have been pretty bad. Add Chlorine, keep coloring tabs full, occasionally forget to add chlorine tablets, go to pool store, buy all $200 of recommended their brands of chemicals use them until pool looks good, and repeat all over again.
We had a ton of calcium build up on our tiles, waterfall barely worked, and the pool looked horrible, so we had it drained, cleaned, pump looked at etc. All is good. Pool is sparkling, water is clear and looks great, tiles and waterfall are like new.
Decided I would like it to look like this all of the time, and actually take care of the expensive hole in the ground in my back yard.
Read through lots of posts, read the starting point articles, etc.
Purchased the Taylor k-2006c kit, speed stir is showing up today.
Did my first test on everything this morning, took me forever, because I have never done any of that before. I am sure I will get quicker with it.
But I am unsure of where to go from here, I am interested in going the liquid chlorine/bleach route, but seemed overwhelming. (its probably not)
Anyways here are my test results, if any one could possibly point me in the right direction, based off of them and what to continue to do I would greatly appreciate it! Sorry for the long post! Glad I found this site! Lots of great info.
I am using the Pool math app to keep track and input results.
