Hello to all,
In another thread, I was posting my most recent [today-3/18] pool readings.
Although my CSI is -.25, I noticed that to get it to a more neutral number of "0", I would have to raise my TA from 70 to 100-120, and or lower my pH from 7.5 to 7.8. However, when I have the pool in a near [winter] equilibrium btw not having to add any MA for weeks, that a great thing, However, it means that my TA is usually 50-55 and this usually puts my CSI in the higher (-) range ie, -35+.
My TF-100 kit states "the good range" for a CL based pool is a TA of 100-120. However, that would mean adding tons of MA to keep my pH down, thus I would be fighting the game of keeping my pH & TA in equilibrium. Is there anything else I can do to raise my TA and keep my pH in a 7.5-7.8 range w out adding tons of MA and keep a higher TA level, maybe in the 85-95 range? Also, I know the dynamics of Winter Chemical Maintenance [WCM] is much diff than SCM w way diff temps, CYA needs for FC optimization and other.
I would appreciate your help on this. Thank you very much and pls let me know if you have any questions?
Regards, tstex
