Okay thanks - I feel better now. I was thinking that high TA would somehow lead to scaling. Glad to be wrong :)

So I'm getting the levels on my new pool stable - still need to bring my CYA up a little, but the one measurement that is out of range is TA. Last Tests: FC-6 CYA-60 PH-7.5 TA-110 CH-50 How concerned should I be with this? We've had a ton of rain lately and I've pumped a lot of water out...

Good info - thanks. I do get your point of failsafe if the pump should fail or filter clog to reduce flow. That portion of the deck will be 'inside' once the Tiki bar is complete so I can't really afford a blown out cell and all of my pool water 'inside' as well :p

Copy that - will do. I took the install straight from the manual. Glad to know this may cause a problem - will cut it out and relocate per your suggestion. Thanks!!

Yeah, that's the variable I'm trying to learn - what to set the RJ-45 to for 'normal' weeks. I'm still running high FC @ 10 from the initial dump of LC on day 1 and the SWG on 20% hope to balance that and also get my CYA number up this weekend. I've been blown away with the responses to just...

So it's all wired in and we're makin' Chlorine!

Okay - Count me in, this make perfect sense. Now, to chart the performance of my SWG and calculate the trajectory of my FC - To Infinity and beyond !!

Thanks for all the encouragement! I might actually be able to pull this off!

That's interesting, by 'hot' I'm assuming you run FC above the FC/CYA chart? I'm guessing just for wiggle room not to swamp?

Wow @Newdude , that's a lot to unpack - but great info! I'm not going to lie - it's a bit overwhelming right now trying not to miss a step and --> BOOM, swamp :) I'm sure I'll get into a daily rhythm like most folks I see here. But I am looking forward to the journey. Thanks again.

Okay - got it, thanks. I had been adding it slowly to keep from overshooting. Planning to test this afternoon after ~ 24 hours of runtime since the water truck left.

Good info. Thanks!! It was halfway between 40 and 50 and I wasn't sure if I should call it high or low or split the difference. .....Now I know.
