I just installed Aqua Rite SWG and took my sample to "pool store" and they tried (as they always do) to sell me calcium hardness additive. The manual says 200-400 is in range which I thought I read somewhere on this site that's not necessary with a vinyl liner. They also gave me some hoo haa on Phosphates. Hope someone can help.
Anyway here's my readings:
TC - 1.5
pH - 7.6
Hardness - 150
Alkalinity - 90
CYA - 40
Salt - 3400
I just added 4lbs of CYA today since I need to get to at least a target of 80. Manual recommends 80-120 which seems high. I read too high CYA hinders Chlorine's killing power.....
Do I need to add 10 lbs of Alkalinity up, 15 lbs of Calcium, and keep the stablizer cranking?
