I was out of town for a while and the big dust storm that hit Phoenix came through while I was gone.
Came home to a muddy pool with a lot of dust and other debris.
Cleaned it up and have tested the water completely (haven't done this for a while).
Here are the numbers.
FC 4
CC 0
pH 8.5
TA 140
CH 400
CYA 90
I know my CYA and CH are high and I will have to drain some of the water to fix this. However I want to wait till the end of summer to do this.
My pH also is VERY hard to maintain. I add lots of acid, a gallon a week, but it keeps going back up to over 8 very quickly.
So my question is what next?? I am presuming that I need to lower my TA and am currently working on this.
Do I have to drain the pool now?
