I completely shut down my SWCG in a attempt to stabilize the chlorine and PH levels. Then reintroduce the SWCG's Chlorine slowly and monitor my water chemistry to see how its coming along. Here's the test numbers you requested. Testing done using Taylor K2005c and Fas-DPD kit for CL, Borate test strips for Borax. Opened May 1st this year no bather load as of this post yet!
5-23-13 Shut down SWCG system @ 7:00pm. water test were FC=1.5ppm, CC=0.0, PH 8++ , CYA 40 ppm added 142oz bottle 6% Bleach new FC=6.0ppm
5-26-13 12:00pm FC=0.0ppm CC=0.0ppm added 142 oz.'s 8.25% Bleach. @ 4:00pm PH 8++ added 1 gallon Muriatic Acid. 9:00pm test results FC=3.4ppm, CC=0.0, CYA=40ppm, PH=7.4, TA=220ppm ,CH=60ppm,
Borax 30ppm
5-27-13 8:00am FC=3.4ppm, CC=0.0, PH =7.2 Taylors Watergram dial chart indicates my Saturation index to be at 0.55 .
After installing the SWCG at the beginning of the 2012 season I started experiencing scaling deposits mainly on the bottom of the liner. At the beginning of this year after initially treating for a sever algae out break and vacuuming out the left over debris the liner was spotless. But has slowly started building up scale deposits on the liner and now is now spread across a large portion of the bottom. Could this be coming from my high
TA=220ppm? I am not really sure how to deal with that other than do a complete water change on the pool?
I have to be out of town for 4 days starting tomorrow. Since I cannot continue just on bleach at this time I am considering adding one more bottle of 142oz's of bleach in the morning and starting back up my SWCG and running at the 50% level you suggested. I have been running my filter pump 12 hours per day and had previously run the SWCG 10 hours per day. Should I keep the SWCG on that many hours to start with and then go from their? Since this a Holiday I do not expect a replay today. I will be back home next Saturday so the system will be running on auto @ 50% for 4 days until I return. Thanks in advance for your help and any guidance you can offer me!
