Here are my latest numbers:
FC = 5
PH = 7.2
TA = 50
Ch = 280
CYA = 20
Salt = 3200
Borate = 50
Temp = 72 and rising
Historically I've tried to keep my TA to the low side as I was seeing PH rise due to running the liquidator. This weekend I liquidated the liquidator and replaced it with a salt system (salt currently at 3800, but I think that it hasn't fully dissolved). When I ran my numbers above through the pool calculator the CSI showed -0.93
Clearly I need to bring the PH, TA and CYA up. I now have a sock full of CYA in the skimmer. I was thinking to bring the TA up to 70, but then when I run through pool calculator it appears that I would need to have the PH up at 8.1 before it would show as balanced. If I bring the TA up to 100 the calculator shows that I could go down as far at 7.7 and stay balanced. Suggestions?
