It rained 2 inches on 13th & 14th (collective) - Is that why my ph & ta is wavering? I have to drain some water this afternoon.

So I guess, I'm looking for approval or criticism - how am I doing?

Thanks so much :-D
 
With crystal clear water, you are doing great!!

I'm not sure why your pH has fluctuated some. Keep an eye on it over the next few days and, if it trends downward, get some 20 mule team Borax and bring it up to around 7.4-7.6

Your TA is fine, the test is only valid + or - 10ppm

I would suggest one thing....raise your CYA to 40-50ppm....you'll use a lot less chlorine.

Nice work! :lol:
