So, an update from the weekend of pool watching and adjusting, lol Have added more than 2 gallons of MA to the pool (over time of course) and aerated each time. I’m still aerating today to get the pH up but here is how the test results show at 2:20p pH: 7.2 FC: 2.2 (will increase when I get...

Tested again by wiping off the cap and TA is 170 to 180 (18 drops made it very red)

Thanks @PoolStored. I read your article. I have fountains that create a lot of bubbles. I will test the sample water again and wipe off the rip. I used a reagent that I’ve used for a year now, so it isn’t new but will wipe off anyway. I lowered pH to 7.0 and will aerate to increase it so I...

Tested the tap/ fill water. TA is 200 CH is 200

Good question! I’m not quite sure. How do I find out? I suppose I can put some in a bucket and then test with the test kit. I have an auto filler but I turned that off for a few days while I try to Lowe me TA. I ran out of MA so I need to grab more this morning.

Ok, thank you. I added 81oz of Muriatic Acid last night per the app. That should lower pH and then aerating this morning with the water feature to raise pH so that I can add more MA to try and get this TA down. It’s stubborn as heck! I just can’t believe how much MA I’ve had to add this summer.

Hi all, long-time listener, first-time caller. I learn so much from you guys, so thank you in advance! I have the TFP Test Kit with Smart Stir. Here are my test results as of 7:15pm (sun below the trees and not on the pool). Pool: 24,000 gallons, pebbie tech, SWG FC: 5 pH: 8 (per...

Hi all! Long time listener, first time caller. I have learned a ton based off Google from TFP. I use the PoolMath App all the time.
