Here are my numbers from this evening:
FC 6.5
CC 0
TC 6.5
pH 8.2
TA 140
CH 300
CYA 30
No algae signs. There is scaling...mostly like cracked egg shells when I scrape it off. Not on the liner..but its on the inside of the filter compartment and where the intake and return are. I'm thinking its the powdery residue in the pool most likely from the stabilizer two weeks ago. I've cleaned all the scaly stuff though. Still a lot of residue on bottom of pool though. Will a sand filter do a lot better job of filter all the fine powdery residue than those cheap paper cartridges I buy for the crappy pump/filter??
What can I do to lower the pH? Powder does not seem to dissolve in this water..so I hate to go adding anything powdery or granular since I'm dealing with residue already.
