If I get a SI reading close to zero - does anything further need to be done?

Hi,

Sorry for so many threads and questions, but I'm really trying to learn as much about all this as I can. Right now my SI is at -0.14. Isn't that pretty well balanced? Someone recently here told me the SI calculator is my "good friend" and so that's why I'm wondering. The closer to zero, the better, right? I've got a TA of 110, pH of 7.4, and CH of 170. It would seem that I'm at a pretty good balance point. Suggestions?

Thanks....

Unless you live in a part of the country with extremely hard water, as long as you keep within the TFP recommended ranges, you're fine.

Your water is fine. Any SI water between -0.3 and +0.5 is considered ideal for plaster pools.
