New pool owner here. This site is great...I appreciate all the information! Just purchased a house with a 10,500 gallon, SWG, pebble tech pool (along with a Taylor 2006C test kit). Just finished my first reading (was taking it to Leslie's while waiting for the kit to arrive). I THINK I'm ok with the results but the CH is a little low (kinda concerned with the amount that pool math is telling me to add).....I would appreciate some input from you just to make sure I am doing this right. Thanks so much!
FC - 6.4 (High)
CC- 0.2
PH - 8.0 (Just added 1 cup of muriatic acid to bing this down slightly)
TA - 120
CH - 280
CYA - 40
Salt - 3200
 
Welcome!

Hove you perused Pool School?

Please fill out your signature with details about your pool and equipment.

Check out the chart for your cya/ fc

Most with swcg keep the cya 70 or so. Depends on daily loss.

ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry

There are several items things every pool owner should know about swimming pool water. We share details on the basics of Pool Water Chemistry.

Regarding adding chemicals, I think about what pool math is telling me to do, and if it seems off, I double check everything. Then when Im sure about test results, I add a little at a time and test a few times, to sneak up on a recommended value.

I think your numbers look pretty good aside from a low CH and no concern on the FC given your CYA of 40. I would, however, get your CYA between 70-80 since you have a SWG. Keep your pH in the 7s. When it hits 8 or above, add the appropriate amount of MA per PoolMath.
