I am a newly here. I have read many of the forum posts on several different occasions and they have helped greatly so I am here asking for help. I have a huge pool....40x25 and it holds 38,000 gal of water. I have lived here for 4 years and for the life of me I can't get this pool chemistry in the zone no matter what I do. Last year I had the pool replastered. I have to put water in the pool every two days because of the evaporation. I live 30 miles east of San Diego so it does get hot. The pool temperature averages about 85 degrees. The county water is hard...hard...hard. So it seems like having to put water in every two days it just messes up the chemistry. I have NO free chlorine and I have the special test just to test for free chlorine. I put 4 gallons of chlorine in yesterday too. All the other classifications are pegged TH 1000, No free chlorine, PH 8.4, TA 8.4, but CYA is 30-50....so it is ok. We have put in 30lbs of PH down to no avail. What the hell am I doing wrong? I have taken samples to the pool store and have done everything they have told me so that was a no go. Is this a lost cause with the county water being so hard? Thanks for your help.
