I am super happy to have found and joined TFP. We recently purchased a new home with a beautiful pool. I have been around polls all my life and have either paid pool companies to care for them or I have taken care of them but to be honest half hazardly. With this beautiful pool I wanted to do it correctly so please consider me a complete newbie.
Our I ground pool is a non-sw pool, around 23k according to the previous owner but I want to verify this unfortunately the shape is irregular and it has quite a few different depths and ledges. I am hoping to get a more accurate number soon. The surface is pebbletec and is in good condition.
Unfortunately our pool had CYA levels around 250 and verified multiple times by different pool stores. After doing lots of research and finding TFP I bit the bullet and drained the pool this weekend (I had a limited window to get this done before sumer). I did a chlorine wash using a 5:1 ratio followed by power washing. I soaked the filter cartridges on TSP and then cleaned them and they are in good shape.
I plan to start filling the pool tomorrow and will try to figure out how to measure the pools water volume while filling it.
I purchased the Taylor K-2006 but not the "C" version and I am hoping I did not make a mistake.
I have also read through both the pool school and understanding chemistry. I think I have the names titled incorrectly.
Any suggestions for how to properly refill a pool and or next steps will be greatly appreciated.
I also wanted to add my pool info to my name but not sure how.
Hope this want too long of a first greeting and thank you in advance for any and all support.
