FC - 10.0ppm PH - 7.8 TA - 180 CH - 110 CYA - 70 Salt - 4800 Chlorine High: Adjust SWG down to 60%, will monitor ph High: Added 48 oz. of dry acid to bring pH down (per pool math recommended 56oz. went light as that is what I had on hand) No other adjustments made

So I want to start timeline for the pool at the house. So I thought this would be a good place (moderator's if not please move it - I'll find it). The intent to to show where I was, track where I am, what I have done, the repercussions and the rewards. The plan is to tender to the TFPC process...
