According to the companies response on the HD website, it's 100% sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Double check your label just because.
I meant add halfway. So add 6.5 lbs and make sure it's still low before adding the other half.

Anything else to test besides TA once done?
The PH. It will rise with the TA so it may fix itself, or it may need some help too.
And always remember that FC is job #1. If you keep it so it's in target range at its lowest point of the day, and in range or above at its highest, we have always have lots of time to tinker with anything else.
You're new and all, so you'll have to take my word for it, but *not* having a swamp, makes things SO much easier to work on.
I am using the teams shoulders to get where I need until they finish the next two weeks. Do want my FC a bit higher. Water looks better. Appreciate all the help. Good thing Sams is 5 Minutes away..The PH. It will rise with the TA so it may fix itself, or it may need some help too.

Last one. Have 4lbs dissolved in a bucket of water can I put into skimmer or just pour into deep end. Pump is set to run at 90% from 8pm-8am. Currently running at 75%. Do I test in morning or in a few hours.
No worries. Someone(s) is here around the clock.
Deep end. Brush well. Test after 20 mins of mixing.
Sitting at 40 TA now.No worries. Someone(s) is here around the clock.

Ok so it was really 0-ish. It's easy to raise and a process to lower, so it was worth the extra step. Add the rest and confirm.
going to add just 4lbs hope to get to 80 not sure I want to be higher.
Tested this morning sitting at 80 after the last 4lbs.lbs (total of 8lbs) got me right. Thank you!
Awesome. Mid range is great. Don't worry about 'ideal levels'. They're just how the average pool responds to that method, and hence why our ideal levels differ from others.
If you're in range, TA will settle wherever your pool wants it to be. Happy pool = happy wife. Or something like that. Anywho, never tell either how you want them to be. Let them tell you how they want to be.

Again thanks for your help. Inspection tomorrow concrete Thursday. Waterfalls next week and fence on the 20th. Then I can just test, mow grass and start planting trees.

Concrete today. Forming cantilevered coping. Exciting yet frustrating as I wonder what all that styrofoam will do to my filter.

After careful consideration I have to leave this forum. My water is too darn clear and I can see all the construction debris. Also
