Re: Adding acid, dialing back salt generator - TA going up?!
I don't think I have a problem. I think it's the way I've tested for chlorine. I did shock this weekend prior to discovering that my testing was off. After adding 4 gallons of bleach, my FC test only showed an FC level of 3, and a TC of 5+. That's when I became suspicious of my FC test.
Any time I've shown low FC levels, and used my local Leslie's test as a control - my FC tests have always been low, while the pool store's are higher. Only the FC test has been off. Everything else always matches the tests from the pool store. As I posted above - when I shake up my R0001 before testing - my FC tests match up with the pool store readings.
I've got higher temps and no rain due this week - so I expect I'll balance everything out by the weekend.
