Ph good, TA low, should I add Borates now?

[Buckeyemom]

Just installed new liner and all new water. My readings:

Cc 0
FC 3
Ph. 7.5
TA 30
Cya - added yesterday to bring to 30

Which do I do first? Add borates or baking soda? Do I lower PH first or test after ans see if I need to lower? Thanks for the help - this place is great!

Bring your TA up to around 80-90 or so using Baking Soda.

I would also suggest increasing CYA to about 50ppm.

Leave your pH alone

Skip adding any borates for now

Thanks! It's hotter than a firecracker here in Ohio!

Throwing in the baking soda now!
