Ok, thank you.

Should I try lowering the TA or just ride it out for the remainder of the season?

So anther week. This week I added about 2 - 3" of fresh water due to evap. At this point I think I am going to ride out the high CYA for the rest of the season. Here are the numbers. FC - 12 CC - 0 CH - 250 TA - 170 CYA - 70 pH - 8.2 Added some dry acid based on what the app said. I did it...

Ahhh, glance! Got it. So my CYA now is probably still at 80 or lower then. I will go to the store and get some dry acid. The app says to add 1lb, 8 oz based on 180 TA with a current of 8.1 and a target of 7.7.

So I have been using the pool and adding liquid the past week. Adding between a quart and a few cups a day using the app calculator. I have been testing FC around 6 ish pm. Time for week two tests (around 9am). Numbers are different. Some of it I account maybe for have the SpeedStir this...

Update. Gallon added about 3.5 hours ago. FC = 14 For the heck of it I tested CC too. That remained at .5 That is what was expected I take it.

Thank you.

Understood.

Going by ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry - Trouble Free Pool It seems my TA is real high. Is this not a big concern at the moment?

Is that the only test I need to do daily? Also I do the weekly list as well I assume. So are you saying besides my high CYA, I'm pretty good to go at this point if I maintain 10 FC on the daily.

May I ask why the App says different?

Also, while using this weekend and until I drain some more am I now on to just the daily TC check? To ask another way, what tests should I be doing on the daily until the next drain?

More drain and refill on the to do list to get the CYA down some more. Water is clear with no visible algae. I'll bring FC to 10 with liquid 10%. So if I punch the numbers into the app for FC I am being told to add 101oz or 3 quarts, 1cup. Sound good?

Pool filled back up with municipal tap water. Pump running for a few hours... FC = 3 CC = .5 pH = 7.2 TA = 190 CH = 225 CYA = a slight hair over 80 TC = 2 or 3 What now? Probably should drain some more and refill, but I "need" to use the pool this weekend.

Ahhh, so my CYA was 240 then.
