This was going to be a new post for me as well as my water is 45 in Atlanta Georgia area. Is there any issues with letting the ph stay in the 8.0 range all winter? Any reason to chase CSI with the other variables (CH or TA) Thanks in advance TJ

Sounds good. I will attempt to not overthink this. Not exactly my strongpoint. I am sure that after some time I will relax and enjoy. Thanks for your help again. TJ

Jimrahbe Thanks for the reply My pump (set by the builder) is running 12hrs from 8am - 8pm. They set the swg at 20% and once the water crossed 60deg it started making/adding to my FC. I had manually dosed to 6 and it climbed 1 per day to 9. I have let it fall to 7 and it has stayed stable at...

FC: 7 CC: 0 PH 7.6 TA: 80 CH: 330 CYA: 30 Temp: 64 CSI: -.28 Taylor test kit I was reading that with my SWG I should have a lower FC with a minimum of 3 and target of 5 when I get my CYA levels to 70 or so. I have my aqua pure running at 5% and it is holding the FC stable at 7. Do I just...

Thanks for the warm welcome. I have been reading anything and everything. My only hope is that I have some experience with salt water fish tank chemistry so the concepts are not completely foreign. Only I don't work with chlorine in fish tanks...

Pentair test for TC, PH, Acid demand, TA. My Taylor kit will arrive next week. I will push ph down to 7.0-7.2 I have added liquid 8.25 to get to the chlorine I have now. It had virtually 0 and with the cold water the swg isn't making any. I did run it on boost for 24hr. but it didn't really...

My pool company provided a Pentair test kit but have a Taylor K-2600 kit coming to test at home but have gotten a 2 tests done since the initial fill of the pool a couple of weeks ago. The current #'s are as follows: FC: 1.75 TC: 1.98 CC: .23 pH: 7.7 TA: 87 input TA: 73 adjusted CH: 237 CYA...
