Hello,
New to TFP and I have a few questions regarding stabilizer.
I completed a test, all except for calcium hardness, and here are the results:
FC- 6.5
CC- 0
Ph- 7.5
TA- 120
CYA- 20
I have a SWG so I clearly need to get the CYA up. Here are my questions:
When completing the test should I not be able to see anything at all in the bottom, or just until the edges of the dot are no longer visible?
According to poolmath, I need 176 oz (by weight) of CYA. Should I put this in in two doses, testing between? (I have already learned to put it in a sock in front of a return jet.)
Is the Clorox poolcare stabilizer that is available at Lowes acceptable? They have it in 5.5 lb containers, which is exactly 88 ounces.
I know that the CYA will lower the Ph, but it looks like my TA is high, so I can just aerate to bring the Ph back up and take some of the TA back down, right?
Thanks for any help with this! By the way, I think my signature is right, except I will have to add that our pool is in-ground. I do that after this post.
