Rained a few inches in NYC last two days. Water level is nearing the top of my Intex 15x48 metal frame pool. What should I do, if anything? Empty a little? Leave it alone? Will the ph, FC, etc. be effected? Probably a silly question, but wanted to ask anyway.
If the pool spills over, you'll lose CYA. My pH usually goes down a bit when it rains - no need to adjust unless it gets to 7.0 or lower. You'll probably use a little less chlorine than normal with no swimmers and cloudy skies.
I have the same pool, and we just leave it. Our bathers splash and jump around enough that the splashover cures that issue. I use a SWCG, so I watch carefully my salt ppm level with the added water. Losing pool water, then it being filled with rain water, dilutes things out a bit at times. I also try to maintain a constant CYA level.
