Trying to get my water right on the mark

[gobblerhuntr]

Ph 7.5
TA 50-55
CH 175
Cya 50
Salt 2700

I'm think my TA needs to be raised a little to maybe 70, CH raised to maybe 225, and salt to 3000. Is there a particular ingredient I need to add to get TA and CH up without changing my ph? On the CYA I can just add the amount the pool calculated tells me.

What order should I attack this in?

 

[gobblerhuntr]

Nobody?

I guess with a vinyl pool I don't need to worry about CH?

If the pH is holding steady, I'd leave TA alone. What test kit are you using that gives the readings down to 5 ppm?

You don't need CH in a vinyl pool.

For a SWG, you should have higher CYA.

Tf 100 kit and I'm sorta reading between the lines on the drops it takes.

I have some cya to add to pool, gonna start by adding 4lbs,which says it will raise it 10 ppm. Got some baking soda to add if my TA needs to come up some.

Also got 120 lbs of salt to add, think it needs it?

Your SWG is what decides if you need to add salt or not.

Well my controller says I have 2700 for salt and reading says you need to keep 3000+. Am I being to anal. I tested tonight and my FC was down to 2.5.

Well if that is what the SWG is reading it may be on the verge of not generating. I would add at least 500ppm of salt.
