I say half way through pool re-fill because I am having to change the water out without taking the level down too much. I had a pool repair guy come out last October to get an estimate on fixing and patching up a nasty rebar stain (looks like someone smeared you know what on the wall). But when he looked at our pool his recommendation was to leave it because while the pool was in good condition for being 20-25 years old it has noticeable areas especially on the steps where the plaster has worn off. He said that draining the pool to fix the stain which is mostly a cosmetic issue, could speed up the degradation of the pool surface.
So basically I have been draining the pool about a foot at a time in the mornings and evenings when it is cool because it has been in the low 80s this weekend.
Anyways, here are the results:
TA= 125 down from 150
CH= 425 down from 775
ph= 7.2 same as before
FC= 1.4ppm down from 6ppm
TC= 1.4ppm
CYA= still way over 100
Also, if anyone is interested, I purchased the Pacific Hyrdostar Submersible Pump model # 69300 from Harbor Freight. It seems to work like a champ. It is rated at 2910 GPH. Picked it up for $55.
Thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
