Well, the week has come... to convert my pool to salt and take it over myself. Have some questions on what to do first with CH and TA(&PH).
Been researching it all- K-2006C, chemicals & relationships, SWG's, etc. Have bought all the chemicals and ready to do this! And feeling very confident and comfortable with my testing knowledge and skills. Did my first test today. Realized how much more accurate and precise the Taylor test kit is than strips!
Results:
PH- 8.0
TA- 170
CH-150
CYA-30
FC-3
My main concern is CH. That seems really low. I'm in central Florida. So it looks like ~25 lbs of calcium chloride will raise it to the desired level 350. But my other concern is that CH and TA seem to have some relationship I've read? But didn't see much on it.
So looks like I need to add muriatic acid to lower PH and TA and aerate to bring PH up and repeat until TA is at desired level.
My question: Should I do one before the other with CH and TA/PH adjustment?
Thanks!
PS- Super happy with this decision so far and very impressed with the knowledge and info TFP Pool School has. Thanks admins!
