13,000gal, above ground, 76 degree water
just opened yesterday
I tested the pool with the TF-100
CH - 0
PH - below 6.8
TA - goes to red immediately w/R-0008, not green
CYA - 90
Borates - can’t check. Test strips must be bad, everything tests 90-100, even a Poland spring bottle
I have NEVER in 8 years seen a PH below 6.8, our fill water is 6.9. I had to add about 18” of water after removing the cover to start filter.
So far, I’ve added 1lb of 73% cal-hypo and one box of Borax (70oz)
new test:
CH - 10
PH - still under 6.8
TA - still untestable
Help??
What would cause this major anomaly and where would you start?
