Hello! I'm still new and still learning how to take care of our new built pool from last December 2019. 11
Temp 76°
FC: 3.5
CYA: 85-90
TA: 80
pH: 7.5
CH: 350
I added a little over 40oz. of 12.5% liquid chlorine after test to try to get FC level up to recommended amount 7ppm. No more tablets being used.
How often should I do all my tests again and adjusting chemicals? Also, when should I perform backwashing ...before tests and balancing water or wait for another time? I have read some articles recommending weekly backwash. While other articles recommend every 4-6 weeks or when psi increase by 10psi (I've never seen our pool raised by 10psi). The pool was built last December 2019. I don't have a lot of trees or leaves around. PSI rarely raises (actually I have not seen it raise much maybe just 1 or 2 psi) over a month. Should I just backwash on some kind of set schedule anyway even if psi has not increased much?
Thank you.
