Hi, I just got my Taylor test kit in and since this is the first time I've ever really gotten accurate test results I thought I'd ask a few questions:
The pool is really pretty clear and nice, though with the weather it has dropped from a nice 85 to about 72 degrees.
I am using TriChlor tablets right now since I have them and I have a feeder in my plumbing.
PH: 7.0 ppm
TA: 100 ppm
FC: 10.8 ppm
CC: .4 ppm
CH: 20 ppm
CYA: 2.6 ppm
1. Calculator says to add 106oz of Borax to bring up the PH, will that bring my TA up to much ?
2. Looks like I have lots of Free Chlorine, and not enough CC, will shocking help that ? (I'll shock with the bags from the pools store since I have a bunch of them left over from last season).
3. And it looks like I need to address CH and CYA ?
