Hello again,
According to the pool builder and pebbletec Corp. the stableizer should be maintained between 35–90 with 75 being ideal, and I will be sure not to use anymore of those packs of shock quickor any other product that might add to the calcium hardness, anything you may know of that might reduce calcium hardness besides draining pool? I checked the chlorine level again this morning and it seems to know holding but with nothing to gage from I am only guessing, I think for right now I will wait until the chlorine level gets down to around 3 ppm then restart the chlorine generator and see if it will hold it there.
Yea I did skim through CYA/Chlorine chart, maybe there are different standards here in Southern California, I have been keeping chlorine levels at around 3.0 ppm for years and with no problems what so ever, and according to directions on the box of chlorine that I bought the other day are to maintain 1.0 ppm to 3.0 ppm chlorine in unstabilized pools and 1.0 ppm to 1.5 ppm in stabilized pools, also says after shocking (DO NOT enter pool until residual is less than 4 ppm) do yawl disagree with these Southern California standards? If I was to go into Leslie’s swimming pool supplies here in Thousand Oaks with a chlorine level of even as high as 4 ppm they will try to sell me a product that will lower chlorine in the pool quickly. Thanks again for all of your help.
