Hi All,
Thanks in advance for sharing your expertise! I'm having trouble with elevated TA.
In preparation to SLAM, I lowered the PH from 7.8 to 7.2 expecting that my TA would also lower from the 220 reading I got at opening 3 days ago. Pool has been running 24hrs since opening and water is crystal clear, but lost 6ppm of FC overnight so starting SLAM. These were my measurements this morning:
FC 12 (This is my SLAM starting point)
CC .5
PH 7.2
TA 240
CYA 35
CH 325
My PH didn't rebound (it's been 7.2 for 3 days since adding 1 gallon of MA) so if I add more MA to pull down the TA, won't that pull the pH too low? I use the TF100 test kit.
Thanks,
Kim
