Hello. First time poster/user. New gunite pool/spa owner. I have heard such good things about this community, looking forward to learning from each of you
So i tested my water manually this week, and last week, and I am showing good ph, good orp, but fcl is low to zero. Alk is good too, salt is 4000ppm. Our water here is incredible hard, so our "hardness" is off the charts.
I've cleaned the intellichlor, the lights all show green, and I see the lights that indicate how much CL is being generated, and all those lights are green. But my fCl is low. So I've been putting in liquid chlorine last few weeks.
When I look at intellicenter, the intelichlor section says "managed by intellichem", but also says for the spa, output is 5%. The pool is currently winterized and not part of the circulation. They use the same system.
Should output be 5%? I asked a friend who has a similar setup and his is set to 100%. Is there a part of the system I am missing that should be helping keep chlorine levels appropriate?
Thank you.
