I just refilled my spa (354 gal acrylic) and here are the results:
First test (by pinch-a-penny, all i added were tabs(4), and a dose of bromine quick shot)
Bromine - 5
Ph - 7.4
Total alkalinity - 100
Calcium Hard- 200
(the recommended calcium booster and that was all)
The test today:
Bromine - 5
Ph - 8
Total alkalinity - 80
Calcium Hard- 230
(the recommended more calcium and to wait on adjusting the ph)
During the week the only thing i added. Was chlorine free oxidizer (maybe twice, after we used it). And ~3 bromine tablets dissolved in it over night because i forgot the floater in the cascade area (the kids put it out of the way).
I thought bromine was and acid. How has the ph shot up?
We are leaving town for a week. I was going to turn the heat down and add the calcium booster. Will it be alright in the condition its in?
The pool is automatic. Do i need to do anything to it before leaving town?
