Hi all! Hope everyone has been well. So much craziness going on here (husband got laid off in May, been watching the grandkids, etc) over the Summer that I haven't really had time to be on. Anyway, pool has been balanced and great all Summer long. However, the last month it's been raining like crazy here, and since we haven't really been able to use the pool during that time, the chemicals have gone a little out of whack.
Anyway, I know I have several options (based on what the calculator says) but not sure which direction I should go in as one thing affects the other, ya know? Would love any suggestions on how to proceed in getting things back on track.
Currently my pool sits at:
FC - 5
PH - 7.0
TA - 20
CH - 60
Didn't do the CYA but I imagine that is very low due to the tons of rain we've been getting.
Usually, our pool stays around these numbers below:
FC - 5 or 6
PH - 7.6 or 7.8
TA - 120
CH - 220 or 230
Would love to hear some suggestions on what I should do first. The pool people are coming to close the pool in a few weeks and I really would like to be balanced before they get here so that they don't go suggesting adding all their junk to balance things. Thanks a lot. And yeah, we still use someone to do that for us as we're still not comfortable with closing ourselves. Especially since we really don't have a means of blowing out the lines.
