FC 7.5 after seven hours of az sun PH 7.7 TA 60 CH 600 CYA 50

I use the Taylor test kit regularly, but wanted phosphates and metal readings so i went to the pool store this time. I will see if i can highlight the photos.

These were pool store test results. I use the Taylor kit regularly, but wanted my phosphate and metals results so I went there. I will see if I can highlight the pictures Plaster is approx. 8 years old

Sorry if this is a long post. I have these dark rings around what apper to be rough spots in my plaster. I also have what look like runs down the side of my pool in multiple areas. They seem to be a rust color but not for sure. I tried scrubbing them with a chlorine tab and a vitamin c tab...

Here is an example in case you do not use pool math. I use 10% liquid chlorine. Pool math tells me that adding 22oz will raise my chlorine levels by 1 ppm. I have actually found it's closer to 24oz. So I know my pool uses approx. 3ppm each day in this Az sunshine. So 3ppm a day x 7 days = 21ppm...

How many PPM of chlorine does your pool use each day on average? Multiply that by seven. Use pool math to figure out how many ounces of liquid chlorine you should add and then add pucks for extra protection. Disclaimer: This is how I do it, but I do not add pucks. I am no pool professional and...

I do not have a saltwater pool and I check mine daily. Not the skimmer, just the chemicals.

I left for four days and added what I thought was enough chlorine for the time I was gone. Came home and all was fine. I didn't put any pucks in mine.

Our Lowes and Home Depot sell it, but they store it in the garden center where its hot, but shaded all the time. Is this ok to buy even if its stored in the Az heat?

Yes, all of my searching comes up with skin irritation from high PH. There is one that says itching, but that is for a spa with high PH and/or TA. I can not find the original one I read on here.

About three days. I know rising PH is normal in a pool, but it just seems faster than it used to be and changing my TA has done nothing to slow it down. My biggest concern with the PH was if it was causing my itching problem when in the upper limits. I did read it on hear somewhere, I will look...

Yes I do do add liquid chlorine manually. I usually Have my CYA between 50-60 it just happened to be 40 this last time I checked. It had dropped from the time I checked it before. I thought from evaporation and adding water. I will be raising it today. That is why my FC is kept at 6

90 degrees

Well thats news to me. Thanks for clearing that up
