I took a sample to Leslie Pools today.
Free Chlorine-----0
Total Chlorine----0
ph---------------7.6
Alkalinity---------120
calcium----------210
CYA-------------10
Salt-------------3800
Salt digital readout is only 3000, seems inacurate for the first time ever!
The sample was taken in late afternoon on sunny day.
Leslie advised adding 4 lbs of CYA for starters. Started adding it to skimmers today. Probably should have bleached first, huh? Also Leslie said they recommend CYA at 80 on Salt Systems. I was under the impression from research here that 30 was more appropriate. Also the clipping device that seals the liner to the walk in steps has black algae(i guess) the full length of the crevace. Should I scrub this out or will the bleach shock take care of it? How much bleach do I need for 28000 gallons. I know the answer will be it depends on the CYA reading after adding the conditioner but still answer if you can. Thanks!
