Here are 2 photos of my biguanide free crystal clear swimming pool! I am almost there.
My test results this evening before I topped off the chlorine are as follows. The only test I did not do yet is the CYA test, but enough was added two days ago to bring the pool to 30 PPM.
FC-5.5
CC-.5 (had to swirl a while for the solution to become clear)
TA-120
CH-240
PH-7.4
If I get a CC reading of .5 tomorrow, my conversion will be considered complete. If that occurs, I feel pretty good about the rest of the chemical test results. TA is high based on the recommended levels chart, and PH should be raised to 7.5 - 7.8. If I add 12 ounces of soda ash, my PH should go up by 2, and TA should increase by 7 to 127.
Should I be concerned with a TA level of 127, and aerate to increase PH?
I am getting some heat from little swimmers wanting to jump in the pretty blue water. Assuming I get a CC test of .5 tomorrow, is there any reason we should not use this pool based on the chemical readings given; as long as FC is between 3 & 7?
