Long story short, I am taking over pool care after the death of my husband last month. The amazingly patient Leebo has been assisting me via PM for awhile (thank you, Lee!). I have a ton to learn because this was my husband’s domain - he had been using this website for the past 2.5 years. I can empty the skimmers and pool vac, and can also empty the pump basket. The chemistry and the equipment are a mystery to me. I’ve been trying to learn about PoolMath and the beginner post has been very helpful, too. It’s just going to take awhile for it all to sink in, I think!
We have the TF-100 kit as well as a sodium chloride test kit and some borate strips (those expire this month, should I get more?)
I tested the FC yesterday and it was 10 ppm. The pH is 7.8 according to the basic test. I’ve been using liquid chlorine (bleach), last added on 2/22. Acid was added on 2/20 to lower the pH from 8.2. Pretty sure the SWG is turned down to zero right now. Not sure when to turn that back on.
What would you all recommend I do next?
Let me know what information you need and I thank you in advance!
