Re: Installing a new Intex AGP with saltwater chlorination.
Hello folk, just looking to touch base with some test numbers to make sure Iam still on course. Our pool has been up and filled since Mother's Day, and we have had NO issues at all, thanks to everyones advice and the help on this site! Thanks a million! Our pool get pretty much direct sunlight from about 10am til 6pm daily. Our temp is up to about 78 degrees, and the whole family (and neighbors) are enjoying it! Nothing like walking into your backyard to cool off!
*I run the pump/filter nightly from 6-8 hours, depending on that days usage, or if alot of debris has blown into pool.
*I run the SWCG anywhere from 5-7 hours night also, depending on on CL numbers and that days usage.
*I usually only test for CL and pH levels daily, and then every 10-14 days run the full Taylor kit tests.
Using the Taylor kit my numbers this am are as followed:
FC=4
CC=0.2
ph=7.5
Alkalinity=70
Calcium Hardness=80
CYA=40
salt=2750ppm
I only run pump and SWCG nightly to maintain my CL levels. After a weekend or a couple of days of heavy usage, or if CL drops rapidly, I will pick a night--skip SWCG usage, and add a dose of dichlor/borax to bump up levels by morning. I have only had to do that once.
Any advice or recommendations on anything based on these numbers? Like I said, we have a totally clear pool which holds daily CL and ph levels really good.
Thanks in advance!
BTW...I emailed off some photos of our pools build process from start to finish, yet I can't find them anywhere?
