Here are the latest readings using TF100. We have 22,500 gal AG/vinyl, use BBB
FC = 1.5
CC= .5
TC = 2.0
ph = 7.0-7.2
T/A = 140
CYA = 27
temp = 72
OK, the obvious...add bleach! However here are my concerns... I'm not sure I understand that whole concept. I always assumed if you don't have enough stabilizer, then the Cl will just burn off continually. But if I increase CYA, then I will just need to keep adding more bleach for that amt of stabilizer...is this correct? If yes, what else is preventing me from maintaining any sort of Cl even after I add bleach to get it up to the 4 level? Water is crystal clear. Also, I keep trying to slowly play with raising pH. I was able to get my T/A down from 170 to 140, so hate to go crazy with borax. I understand borax has the least affect on T/A but how much can I safely add before my TA goes skyward again?
