AquaSmarte Delivery System?

[circlenranch]

Sevver, I really appreciate you looking into it for me!
Grace, I sure hope I don't have to replace the cart. It's expensive too!!

Here is a link I found describing the Aqua Smarte system. This might shed a little more light as to what steps I should take to switch to BBB.

I just briefly scanned the document, and it looks like you could just ditch the system and start with BBB.

Post some numbers so we can better help you! If you are following the guidelines outlined in step 2 on page 4 of the document, your water parameters should be pretty close.

Most here would suggest stabilizer (or CYA) between 30-50 ppm, and your FC will need to be increased accordingly (3-5ppm, 15 to shock)
You do not need to worry about calcium hardness, as you have a liner. (problems only occur >500ppm)

One Caution: Some here say they pour bleach into the skimmer: DO NOT do this if you leave your system connected. Mixing different forms of chlorinating chemicals is dangerous. (they can be mixed in the pool without any harm, however.) Add your bleach in front of a return.

ETA: get a drops-based test kit (Ben's kit, Taylor, or HTH 6-way)... test strips are 'lovingly' called "Guess Strips" around here!

Thanks Grace!
Last night my numbers were: chlorine 0.5, ph 7.2, CYA 0. I cant remember what the alkalinity was.

I just edited my above post, as you were replying! Where is Shepherdsville? we are near Florence...

You will need to add 30-50ppm CYA. Use the BleachCalc to find out how much. Shoot for the low end, because while you can always add more, you cannot lower it without draining pool! There are some CYA delivery methods discussed here.

You will need to up your chlorine according to your CYA level. Use Ben's Best Guess table to get the right numbers. I was a bit off in a previous post.
