I did some testing tonight and wanted to post my results just to see if any of the experts can point me in the right direction. I used the pool calculator with my results and have an idea of what to do but trying to build some confidence based on feedback from the board. My main concern based on the Balancing for SWG article in pool school is the CYA level being so low, calculator says to add 47oz, I have added about 3.14lbs since I set the pool up about a month ago. The second concern is the TA level, it is much higher than the recommended range for SWG. Pool school indicates I need to lower ph to 7.2 and then aerate to get TA down (how do you aerate). Also, my FC number is low, do I need to run my SWG for a longer time (currently running for 3 hours in the morning 7am to 10am). I've added 240lbs of salt thus far.
Here are my results:
Salt = 2890
pH = 7.8
Cl = 0.5
TA = 180
CH = 150
CYA = 25
