Here are my latest results from the store

FC 5.49
TC 5.72
CC .2
pH 7.70
Hardness 180ppm
Alk 160 ppm
CYA 35 ppm
Salt 2900 ppm

I have a 15,000 Gal IG pool with an SWG

The store says to add
1 gal of muriatic acid or 11lbs of Aqua pH minus to get the alk down

8lbs of Aqua Cal to get the hardness up

6 oz. of aqua shock to destroy the chloramines

1 lb of aqua brite plus to reduce chlorine buildup


OK, my question is, which of these things can I do without and which stuff can i buy at your local walmart to replace the stuff he is suggesting. When my Aqua pH down runs out I will be switching to muriatic acid. And do i really need shock? my CC is only .2, can I just bump my SWG up a notch. And I just need to raise my hardness 20ppm to 200, is there any other product that can do this? I am currently doing the Ben's method of reducing alk, and it has been working, last week I was at 210ppm and now I am down to 160ppm

thoughts?
