Hi All,
I've never posted about my water test results before, but the pH is starting to drift higher and the TA is drifting lower. I haven't used chlorine tabs in almost 3 weeks as I've been reducing chlorine and CYA levels ever since firing the pool man. All I've been using after an initial non-Cl shock 3 weeks ago has been 65% chlorine shock broadcast into my pool every other day to get the FC level to 2.0. I've also been adding 2 capfuls of Leslie's Perfect Weekly every Thursday. Can I please get some advice on how best to treat my water as pH goes up and TA goes down (seems kinda counterintuitive to me)? Let me know what additional information you need.
5/17 Quick Results (today)
FC = 2.0
pH = 7.8
TA = 60
5/11 Full Results
FC = 1.0
pH = 7.4
TA = 80
CH = 230
CYA = 58
Phosphates = 100
5/5 Full Results
FC = 3.0
pH = 7.4
TA = 80
CH = 240
CYA = 90
Phosphates = 300
4/30 Full Results
FC = 10.0
pH = 7.5
TA = 120
CH = 200
CYA = 80
Phosphates = 400
Thanks.
