Understood. I believe I am mostly following this protocol. I am using a digital pH meter (as I happen to have one for another hobby...) instead of observing the color based test. I only add acid if I see at least 8.1 Edit: thanks for that first link, I had somehow missed it before. Seems very...

History of my interest in this question: I found that after 6 months my salt cell was full of calcium deposits. After cleaning it I measured the Total Alkalinity (using TF-100) and found it to be 180 Over the course of 3 weeks I added acid daily to keep pH at 7.2 until the TA was down to 70...

I realize I was not clear. Yes the first test I did was the OTO style one. I just did the DPD one from the TF-100 with the powder to confirm and it also is completely clear, no pink to see. I did not realize this. Thank you. My appreciation to all who replied -- I have acquired some liquid...

Pool temp is around 50 °F these days SWG has not operating due to low temperature Measured pH at 7.6 CYA is between 60 and 70 Chlorine drop test was completely clear I clean the pool of any leaves the skimmer doesn't catch once a week. There is no visible algae. Given that the chlorine drop...

Yes, I read through it a few weeks ago. It was one of the ways I found this website. I currently only have a digital pH meter (already owned this pre-pool), the salt reading from the Jandy AquaPure, and a kit for testing FC / CC (...and I'm not impressed with the resolution of these...

2 months ago I moved into a new house with a pool. The seller left me contact information for the pool maintenance service he had hired. After getting the "sales pitch" from these bozos I was both committed to learning how to maintain the pool myself and concerned that it may not have been...
