I also have many years of being pool stored before I found TFP. I do take a sample after adding water for opening. ( fill with well) I tried to politely suggest that testing was wrong, I couldn’t see how my pH could be so high with my TA at 0! They politely told me I didn’t know what I was...

Yes, the Calcium hardness. I thought maybe since it was on the low end of the the recommended level, it might not a good idea. Thank you!

My Ca reading is 250, is it ok to run my heater?

I have phosphates at 5600, just kept my Cl on the high side of Cl/CYA without a problem.

@duraleigh , Thank you! Thank You! I was thinking the same thing, especially after rereading my pool results from store one which said I had NO TA. ( I tested at 60). Pool store# 2 NO copper ,and TA of 90. All other parameters matched my testing. I will believe store # 2, beside the heater...

Yes, I have read the above, one of the reason I was surprised with the 2.8 ppm when it states it is rarely from ground water. Since I haven’t put anything in the water,but acid and chlorine , I guess I have to think it’s from the heater. I have also read that copper could make the water cloudy...

I recently needed to added water from our well a few times in the last 2 weeks, so I took water to be tested At pool store. They said no iron ( which I was worried worried about )but that I have 2.8 ppm of Copper. They said I need to add a sequestering agent to keep the cooper in solution. I...

@Richard320 ..that was it! Ca hardness is 400!

I’m sure I must have made a mistake testing/ adding Ca after a low reading. Now the test turns pink, but never blue after addition of R12. ( turns clear) Does that mean by Ca is off the charts? How do I proceed from here? Thanks in advance.

Yes, I will keep an eye on it . Thank you again ! I have had the best 2 season in 25 yrs using TFP !

Thank you ! I will adjust the spill over, how low should I target the pH? I have been using 7.8

Lots of swimming!

No automation, but yes the spill over spa does run with the pool filter run time. It has always been this way, the problem has been only the last month or so.

The last month has me adding acid weekly to bring pH down to 7.8. Is there anything else I should Target? FC 8.0 pH 8.2 TA 60 CH 270 CYA 50

Thank you!

MY DPD powder is starting to look purple in the container. I guessing I should replace it, but what made this happen so I can avoid in the future.Thanks !
