Low TA Help

[Alanmathew]

Hello,
I have an Above ground Metal Frame 12 x 30 intex. Right now if filled with 1588 gallons.
TF100
TCl 3
PH 7.6
FC 3
CC 0,5
TA 60
CH 50
CYA 0 (adding CYA tomorrow)

Is the CH and the TA too low?
Thank you

Nope. TA and CH are fine. CH does not matter with your pool type. If pH drops, then add baking soda to raise TA.

Add 30 ppm CYA.

Good job.

Go swimming!

Thank you very much.
I will add 30ppm of CYA tomorrow morning!!!!
After the Cya is dissolved, when should I test it?
Thank you again

After the Cya is dissolved, when should I test it?

A couple days after adding.

Hello,

My ph is a little bit low.
I do have Mule Borax. Do I need to add that powder alone?

Thank you

If you're going to use trichlor tabs at all, I would raise the TA by 20 ppm with baking soda. If you’re not going to use trichlor tabs at all and only liquid chlorine, I would raise the TA by 5 ppm with baking soda and wait for the pH to rise on its own.
