OK. I thought I read somewhere on the TFP that warmer weather can influence a need for a little higher TA. I tested CH and TA again and CH was still at 625 and TA reduced down to 110. I'll bring pH down to 7.2 and ariate to help reduce TA. I also retested CYA based on your suggestions and it...

mknauss-I also noticed you mentioned "back to the sun". I definitely have been facing the sun during this test, so that may be my issue.

Thank you, mknauss-I have been sporadically adding LC, but since the temps have been increasing, it's been daily additions of LC. I added a small amount (10oz) of baking soda, as last weeks test showed it was 90, to increase my TA to 100 as well as LC this week while the CYA was dissolving in my...

This past week I added 16 oz. of CYA using the sock method for a couple of days, after testing results showed 35ppm, trying to bring it up to 45ppm in my 11,000 gal pool. Today it tested at 25ppm! Checked it twice to confirm. Can anyone tell me how that can happen? Also my CH increased to 625ppm...

Thank you for your response, Pat. I have been adding between 32-40 oz 10% Chlorine, as well as, 32 oz of 14.5% Muriatic Acid every day for the past week. My water is pretty clear but I do see a tinge of green. Those amounts are what Pool Math is telling me to add to achieve my target FC of 6 and...
