Opening the pool. Results are as follows:
FC- 0
CC - 0
TC - 0
pH - 8.2
T/A - 40
CH - 140
CYA - 20
I have a general understanding of the chemicals, but I'm not clear on how to lower my ph without raising TA. I've got the muriatic acid to add and the baking soda, but I'm not clear as to what to do when. I added the acid and it brought the ph down to normal levels, then I added bs to raise the TA, and it didn't change the TA at all, but sent the pH back up to 8.2. Not sure what to do now. Sorry, I'm a newbie at this.
