Tested the pool with my TF100 for the 1st time today. The numbers are:
Salt 3600 ppm (Intex SWG recommends 3000 ppm)
CYA 40
FC 2ppm
CC 0
TA 110
pH 8.2
CH 475
Plugged in all the numbers in the Pool Math based on the TFPC in conjunction with the Water Balance for SWGs recommendations in the Pool School.
I understand how to do the recommended adjustments but have a couple of questions.
1. To adjust the TA it said to lower pH to 7.0 - 7.2 with acid and then aerate to increase the pH. The only aeration that I have is pointing the discharge nozzle toward the surface of the pool, a little rain and a little pool activity; typically 3 or 4 hours a week. How long could I expect it to take to bring the pH back up to acceptable levels?
2. With my CH at 475 do I really have to be concerned with a vinyl pool?
My water is crystal clear right now as it has been since I opened the pool the 1st of the month.
Thanks
