Hello to all,
After a good over-flow of mulch and garden soil run-off into the pool, she's as clear as can be and has been since Wed after the Monday Houston rains. We ended up w a total of 16", and 5-6" from 415AM - 6AM that morning.
My CYA was 40-45, so I brought the FC to 20 and the pH to 7.2-7.3 What's been great that is w all the rains and aeration, including the spa spillover and scuppers, my pH has only risen to 7.4 [above 7.2 but below 7.5]. I think my TA and pH are now in equilibrium, HOW COOL. I have not had to add any acid since I did so on Monday. I have also not added any CL either. I am still above FC = 5+. I'll do so more testing tomorrow, but the water looks great and w all the rains, I have nicely lowered my CH too. I have 6 gallons of 8.25% CL in the garage so I'm set for the next month+. I'll make sure it stays cool.
Thanks again for everyone's help and support...check for donation/support on the way....regards, tstex
