+1 on troublefree pool...they taught me what I needed to know and basically maintenance is on auto-pilot. rarely test, just know when it is time now.agcivengineer said:
I have a pebbletec finish and try to follow trouble free pool guidance. So my level targets are:
With cya @ 40,
CL 4-6 ppm
TA 60 to 80 (i add baking soda when TA gets to 60)
pH 7.4 to 7.8. I add 20 - 30 oz of acid 2 to 3 times per week.
+1 on salt water chlorinator. It is not "salty" and should not do anymore damage then nature and/or what you are putting in.
