Bromine Chemistry Question

[FormerBromineUser]

Hey.

I have been "patiently" waiting until it looked like things had settled down after the July 4th rush and it looks like they have.

Here's my news: My CYA finally hit around 42 (my son and I are familiar with logarithmic scales so it's our best guess). I have been using LC to sanitize. My pH is incredibly stable (thanks for the TA adjustment, Ben!). I check FC, CC, and pH daily and I seem to lose 1.0-1.5 ppm FC each day. I'm not exact with my LC dosages as I am trying to learn how to judge quantities myself and NOT use a calculator. :-) Twice I have had CC between 0.1 and 0.5 but that was after little kids were in the pool....

Here are my numbers:
FC: aim for 4.2 (10% of CYA)
CC: 0
pH: 7.4
TA: 80
CYA: 42 (>40)
CH: 60
Borate: 60 .... I THINK it's 60 but I can't read those LaMotte strips very well
Metals: 0 (according to bucket test) I have only added rain water so far

So.... Is there anything else I should be doing with my new water? I still have concerns about Leslie's telling me I had >1000ppb phosphates. If you think I am saavy enough, I will be happy to be an additional test case for the phosphate project. I know the axiom is "if it ain't broke..." but it seems like there's a good argument for preventative medicine too.

Oh, and my pool is really 26K, not 30K, but I can't change my signature.

Products on hand: plenty of 12.5% LC, 10.5 lbs 68% cal-hypo, 3.25Q 60% polyquat, 2 bx borax, 2.5G MA
