Not too bad but was wondering if I should start lowering PH and TA?
I just added chlorine so it will actually be higher than what I recorded.
thanks

Just opened the pool and here are the numbers: I ADDED 1 GAL 12.5% CHLORINE AFTER TESTS.

HIGH CLORINE......Daily test turns orange
Is the orange from daily test from high chlorine?

Added more muriatic acid this week and PH is down to 7.2!!!!!!! Yippie! Chlorine daily test is 5-10!!!! Yippie!!!
I believe things are going the right direction!!
Thanks everybody!
Daily test
PH........... 8.0-8.2

Not sure why ph went up so much since yesterday. It rained last night and people in pool after tests yesterday.
I had the ph going down last few tests. Now it is on the way up again.
Muriatic acid time again. Seems I've added it regularly...
I think the numbers are doing good! I think I may be able to back off chlorine a bit?
Will check daily and adjust and keep from going low again.
CC is 0, is that OK?
Thanks for the help! Any comments or suggestions?

Yesterday added 1/2 gal 25% muriatic acid. No chlorine.
Today did daily chlorine test (3-6) and PH 7.5
Then add 1/2 gal 12.5% chlorine.
PH and chlorine are where they should be now.
Does a quart of 12.5% chlorine per day sound about right to maintain?
I'll do all tests tomorrow.
thanks
