Ok, here's my test results this morning...
FC-10
CC-0.5
CYA-70
TA-120
PH-6.8
So to dos would be
1) Do nothing with FC and let the sunlight reduce it
2) Do nothing with CC since it is in ideal range
3) Do nothing with CYA since it is in ideal range for SWG
4) Increase PH to ideal range
5) Lower TA to 60-90 because I have a saltwater pool
So for #4, I should add borax or aerate it. I can't aerate because I don't have fountain installed yet.
For #5, I have no idea how to lower TA because this link http://www.troublefreepool.com/content/129-how-to-lower-lowering-total-alkalinity says to add acid to lower ph and then aerate to raise ph without increasing TA and then repeat steps as necessary. The problem is my ph is already low and I don't have a fountain to aerate.
And kids pool party is tomorrow. Safe to use pool or not?
