I tested these twice now and used the magnetic stir for these new numbers. I feel pretty confident these are a good baseline. I turned the salt cell off to bring the FC levels down. Think i was getting a false reading on the salt levels. I tested this many time and it has come back with 15...

I think I am going to drain some and try to get the levels down. Just to be safe.

I have the SWG on I don't seems to have any issues. No alarms or anything. Only have it set at 30% as I have high FC currently. I also took pucks out of the skimmers and I an no longer using them. Was hoping that now that the SWG is on with better salt levels I would not need them. Hopefully...

The only thing I did was add salt to the pool and potentially test more precisely. I will retest tonight. I tuned down the SWG and I removed the pucks the pool company put in the skimmers and it has come down some. I will leave the cover open tomorrow when I am at home. I opened the pool April...

No I didnt. It is my second time using the tf test kit so I was much more precise. Cl br, is from the block that has ph on one side and the CLBR on the other. It is just orange and didn't correlate with any of the readings. I am going to retest it all tonight now that I got my magnetic stir kit.

So I think I added too much salt. Right around 4000. The machine recommends 4000 or less. (I Knew I should have done less than the pool math Calc, only. Make that mistake once) Do you think I should drain a bit and refill to get that number down or do you think it'll be fine with splash out...

FC-16.5 CC-0 pH-7.5 TA-260 CH-375 CYA-30 SALT-2000 New to all of this, not sure what I should go after first. Still pretty cold here WT=57f. If I go for the TA seems like I need to raise the pH up and then use acid along with aeration to get that to come down. The app will calculate the pH...

Those were the pool store tests. Here are the test using the recommended kit tf salt. They did have me put pucks in the skimmer basket. Could be why the fc is so high?

A bit lost on how to get my alkalinity down and the pool back into shape. Salt levels were low too ~1800. Might be too cold still for those to be accurate. Just opened for the season. SWG ~30000 gallons. New to the forum so let me know what other details you need.
