Just a couple of weeks ago, armed with our recently purchased TF-100 test kit with magnetic stirrer and TFP recommended salt test kit, we cancelled our contact with a pool service company.
Now I’m at the point, I’ve gathered a few days of readings and I’m going to test again today.
But for now, this is what I’ve recorded and I'm requesting guidance on determining which chemicals and in what amounts do I utilize?
Date 4/14/22 4/16/22 4/20/22
CL 1 >5 >5
pH 8.2 7.5 8.2
FC 2 12 15
CC 0.5 0 0
TC 2.5 12 15
TA 110 100 100
CYA <20 60 35
CH 300 325 500
Salt 5,200 <missed> 5,800
H2O Temp 73 71
I had entered my 4/14 readings into the Pool Math app. The app recommended, if I recall (I didn’t properly record them): 22#s of calcium chloride, ~7#s of a stabilizer/conditioner, along with ? ounces of 20° baume.
I already had some baume, and added that after the 14th readings.
I picked up some chemicals and added them to the pool on the 16th (after I had taken the readings shown above).
I stopped short of adding all 22#s of the calcium chloride, thinking this seems excessive. I did enter ~12#s of it though. Along the recommended amount of stabilizer/conditioner and 20° baume.
I’m requesting guidance on what my next steps should be?
Also, I need to figure out how to calibrate my Aqualogic panel salt readings. The panel is listing salt levels at or near 2,800 ppm, where as the TFP salt test kit is showing salt level readings almost double that. Any help on how to align the two, as I would think that would adversely affect the SWG output.
I would sincerely appreciate any guidance as I learn how to do this without bothering everyone.
