Hello everyone,
I have a Fibro Fiberglass pool that have roughly 30 000 liters of water using a salt chlorinator. When I loaded the information in the PoolMath app, I get the following recommended level:
When Fibro sold me the pool, they gave me maintenance guide which says to keep the water in these levels:
FC start lower and end in the middle of the recommended, TA start at nearly the maximum of TFPC and end way higher. As for hardness, it's the total opposite not even reaching the recommended level. At least CYA seems to be consistent.
So I'm wondering, who do I follow? I never had trouble with my pool to be honest. I normally do the red and yellow test for ph and chlorine, once a month the salt level and for the first month when opening the pool, I go do a pool chemistry test at my local pool shop which use exactly the TFPC kit and give me the result. Only thing I bought from them in the past was either chlorine, something for ph, calcium for hardness and that's about it.
Trying on my own now with TFPC and I'm unsure which number to target for, manufacturer or TFPC.
Thank you
I have a Fibro Fiberglass pool that have roughly 30 000 liters of water using a salt chlorinator. When I loaded the information in the PoolMath app, I get the following recommended level:
- FC: 1.0 - 3.0
- pH: 7.2 - 8.0
- TA: 50 - 90
- Hardness: 250 - 650
- Cyanuric Acid: 60 - 90
When Fibro sold me the pool, they gave me maintenance guide which says to keep the water in these levels:
- FC: 0.6 - 1.5 ppm
- pH: 7.4 - 7.6
- TA: 80 - 120ppm
- Hardness: 80 - 240
- CYA: ~60 ppm
