First, just wanted to say I subscribed because this site is SO VERY HELPFUL! Thanks.
My readings today:
FC 2.2
pH 7.6
TA 310
CYA <30 (but i'm guessing more than 20 because the dot did disappear when I accidently overflowed the tube)
Based on these readings I added 3c bleach tonight, as recommended by the pool calculator.
I also tested my fill water's TA since my pool tests so high and it was 300.
I have a couple of questions:
Should I add a little more CYA until it's at 40 or is this sufficient? I added 2 lb of the powdered form.
I printed the "Lowering Swimming Pool Alkalinity-A Step by Step Guide." I understand the concept. Just want to make sure before I start the process, it's really necessary to lower the TA. (Because step 1 says - A REAL reason to mess with this.) If so, I'll buy some muriatic acid tomorrow and begin the process of lowering my pH.
