Thanks for the replies!!! Yeah, I realize my CYA is high. I'm pretty sure it's due to the trichlor tabs I recently started using. I've cut those back so hopefully I'll get that under control in time.
Here's my next question... I've plugged in the data into the Pool Calculator and here's what it says:
add 24oz of borax
add 77oz of baking soda
But it also says this:
"Note: pH calculations depend on TA and Borate. Results are approximate and can be off significantly for large pH changes. Changing your pH will also change your TA."
and this...
"Note: Adding baking soda will also raise your pH."
So this leaves me wondering how to resolve my PH and TA. What does the hive recommend?
THEN... What about CH? Can I just follow the instructions without worry?
"Add by weight or by volume of calcium chloride
or add by weight or by volume of calcium chloride dihydrate."
I believe this is one of those things there's no 'grocery store' substitute for, correct? Which of the 2 products recommended should I get?
And lastly, with my CYA levels so high, what should be my FC goal? And actually, what should by my TA goals too?
Thanks in advance!!!
