    Need some help balancing TA and CH

    Thanks for the advice. Back in Jan-Feb I had to use pucks. Besides that I only use liquid chlorine. I didn't add chlorine last night, but I will tonight. I've been trying what the pool math app recommends. Lowering TA by reducing pH to 7.0-7.2 and running the waterfall.

    I think these pool store sales people all go to the same school. I too have a brand new pool. The guy told me, once I get my pH and CYA squared away I need to shock it and then shock it monthly. In the summer months I may need to do it weekly. Interesting read on the chlorine. Do most of you...
