Okay, an update:
FC=5.2
CC=0
pH=7.8 (maybe 7.9)
Alk=90
I turned the SWG down to 40%, as it was pushing up into the 7.x range when set to 60%. Initially, when set to 40%, the FC dropped into the 3s, so I extended the run time from 6 to 8 hours. It’s been a week or so and seems to be settling down around 5.
A couple of things I’m noticing.
1. There seems to be a chlorine smell off my skin after using the pool/spa; sometimes quite strong. I read about chloramines, but I don’t think that’s my problem. The pool does not give off an odor at all, only from the skin after bathing.
2. The pH seems to need adjusted a couple of times a week. I added 22 oz of acid last Friday and it looks like I’ll be adding the same tomorrow. Is this typical? Seems like a lot.
