Hello! I have lots of things by the looks of my first reading that need to be adjusted. I was so sick of the pool store and going back every few days when opening to make sure I had it right and I wanted to start doing it myself which is where I found this site ![Smile :) :)](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I had to lower my CYA as it was up to 150 with the opening routine and now after draining some and adding some more I’m in between 80-90. Might even be a little lower as all of the water isn’t mixed yet but going with 90 for now.
A few questions:
The Pool Math app doesn’t tell you what to adjust first as far as I can see but in all my tests from the pool store I believe you adjust alkalinity, PH and then shock in that order.
PH says I need to increase but Alkalinity says I need to decrease PH and then aerate which I don’t even think I can do. Any ideas where to start? If I use an Alkalinity decreaser it would be nice to log that and figure out how much I need to use instead of the aerate option.
Thanks in advance!
Jamie
