Red TA test

[dorpo75]

I have tested for Alkalinity and it turned RED immediately. Here are my numbers

FC 0.0
cc 1.0
TC 1.0
PH 6.8
CYA 80
TA RED over 8.2

Please advise me as to what I should do.

pH is 4.5 and TA is 0. Increase pH.

 

[dorpo75]

I know I have to increase PH what shall I do with the alk.

First, raise the TA to about 50. Then test the PH again and adjust it as needed from there.

Increasing the pH will increase the TA.

 

[dorpo75]

The numbers above are from a friend's pool. He asked me to test his water and tell him what he needed to do. So I did. He didn't. Why ask, then?
Red irritated eyes, a skin rash, dry nasty looking hair and he is not going to get on the website b/c he said he got spam the first time he was on. I told him he needed a better filter (spam that is). He isn't. No more free testing for him.
