Help with pool store readings until test kit comes in!--Continued

[gilbee]

Ok, stopped pumping water this morning about four hours ago, and left the pump on high to recirculate the water with the returns on...just took a reading, and here's what I got:

FC 12
CC .5
TC 12.5
CYA 75
CH 250
TA 120
pH not tested due to FC over 10


Based on this, I think I can stop pumping water, since I'm going to install a salt system, and 75 is in the right neighborhood for that, right? Regarding the other numbers, I think things are fine, would you agree? The only one I'm marginally concerned with is the TA, but I can lower that over time I suppose...

Yes, looks good! You can bring TA down slowly with acid/aeration. As soon as the FC gets under 10 test that and you are good to go!

Well, all that draining was a good exercise in process, but it appears I'll be resurfacing much sooner than expected, so a full drain with relief holes are coming within the next few weeks....I guess the good news I get a clean slate in terms of CYA!
