Hi,
I am awaiting the arrival of the test kit so I went to Leslies pool store and here are the test results.
Free Chlorine 0
Ph 7.2
Total Alkalinity 100
calcium hardness 60
cyranuric acid 35
total dissolved solids 1200
copper/iron 0
phosphates 500
They would not do a test for total available chlorine, they claimed that it is the same as free chlorine even though it says right on the sheet how to do it. They tried to talk me into a bucket of calcium hardness plus, I lied and said I had it at home and 2 lbs of soda ash.
So how much bleach will it take to get the chlorine to hold and what do I add to get PH up?
should I worry about alkalinity?
I have been adding two 128 oz bottles at night bit it goes down in about 36 hours to 0.
I just bought CLorox 96 oz bottles today because they are on sale. they are 6%
I will let you know when the kit arrives and I do my first test.
thanks!
