Enless Pool-Corrosion Issues PLEASE HELP

Postby Jeffm » Mon 27 Apr, 2009 07:57

Okay, well I drained about 1/2 to 2/3. Figure I'll hold the Cl level between 3 and 5 for a few days while I balance the other chemical levels, then do a CYA check and come up with the proper range.
All of the stainless is still outside the pool for now.

Enless Pool-Corrosion Issues PLEASE HELP

Postby Jeffm » Mon 04 May, 2009 14:18

Well, I put all the stainless back in yesterday.
It made it through this morning with no corrosion, haven't run anything yet.
Pump will kick on this afternoon for a few hours, no heater.
If all looks good, will try to run the heater tomorrow. That's my big concern, it may sound silly but one theory I have is there is something electrically screwed up with the heater inducing a current into the water.

Keep your fingers crossed.

FC is 1.0ppm
TA is 130 (I'd like to lower it a bit)
CH is 375 (It shot up when I drained and refilled, I really think the difference is the well water when the ground is frozen or unfrozen)
pH 7.8. Yea, it's a bit high. I'll hit it with some muriatic, and lower the TA just a hair, and drop the pH down to 7.5
