The pool is filling! We are slowly filling it - started Friday night and it is just over half full now ... I think I need to add some soda ash but have questions ...
Do I add it directly to the water? How long does it take to dissolve? and when is it safe to get into the pool after it is added?
My results are
Chlorine - 4
CC .5
PH 6.8
CYA 25
TA 130
Also - the chlorine level has been holding steady
The pool calculator tells me that I need to add 42 oz of Soda ash - so 5.25 cups?
Once the pool is filled I will need to add more - but my question is - is TA something that needs to be adjusted when not adding water? Do I need to stock up on soda ash? Does soda ash go bad? (I am not sure how old the soda ash is that I have)
BTW - when filling the pool the hose is above the waterline to provide aeration.
