Readings from today
Temp 40
FC 8.5
CC 0
PH 7.5
TA 70
CH 50
CYA 80
CSI -1.31
I am still on a journey to get CYA down, started at 180 so slowly but surely. But that means anytime I get a chance I am draining and refilling, typically with rain water. My target for FC right now is 9 and I will adjust today to get it back to 9.
Last week the PH was 7.4 so I adjusted my returns to get some aeration and looks like over the week raised the PH from 7.4 to 7.5. Note, I think my pool is somewhat unique, my PH always trends down, not up.
So I understand the CSI debate, and having a vinyl pool a negative number doesn't really hurt me I don't think.
Playing with pool math, looks like bringing my CH up to around 200 puts me in a better spot from a CSI perspective. But, I am on a well with a CH of 30, so for the most part, my CH is going to naturally be lower.
So the question is, thoughts on making any adjustments?
I am thinking, just get my FC back up to 9 and leave the returns so I continue to aerate to bring up the PH. I was debating on adding some borax to bring it up to 7.6, but I don't think I need my TA to go up any.
Appreciate the feedback.
