Actually, these are my third test results for my new pool. I've been posting in another thread but haven't had any responses to my questions there.
This morning's results using my TF-100:
FC = 1
pH= 8.0
CYA = not tested due to just having added CYA last night
CH = 125
TA= 160
I added 48oz muriatic acid and 45 oz liquid chlorine (10.8%) according to Pool Math.
This evening, my TC is 3 and my pH is 6.8. Pool Math says to add 12 lb of borax. Really? With new plaster, I believe the pH will go up on its own, probably before I go to bed. I have one box of borax here. My question is: should I put it in and go out and get another, or sit tight and test again later tonight?
It's raining here and the water is 60 degrees if that makes any difference. Our heater won't be working until tomorrow.
This is all very new to me so I am hoping to get some reassurance and support here. Thanks in advance for your help.
