To protect my 1yr old pool, I want to keep my CSI in a healthy place. To do that it seem my pH and TA need to be at their upper limit. However, I was under the impression that I should keep the pH and TA on the lower end of the recommended range for a SWG. As the weather gets warmer (and the water), it appears that the CSI will be easier to control.
In the interim what is recommended, lower pH & TA or marginally higher CSI?
Also, due to early season cold temperatures I am chlorinating my pool with bleach rather than the SWG. I am sticking with SWG Pool chemical goals because I assume they account for salt. If this is a mistake and I need to adjust CYA down until it gets warmer, please give me a head's up.
Thank you for any advice you have to offer.
FC 6.5 (bit high added bleach last night - too cold for SWG)
pH 7.5 (goal 7.5-7.8)
TA 70 (goal 60-80)
CH 410 (goal 350-450)
CYA 70 (goal 70-80)
Borate 30 (30-50)
Salt 3200
Temp 53f
CSI -0.59 (goal -0.3 to 0)
