Water is pretty hard, hands feel almost sticky.
Using simple Aqua Check test strips, so Numbers might not be the best. (rough estimates below)
Total Hardness -= 500
TC = 4
FC = 7.5
PH = 6.8-7
TA = 60
CA = 0
Water is clean and clear. Heavy Algae this spring, so our pool guy recomended keeping the Chlorine high by using multiple tablets.
Im reading a bit here about NOT using Chlorine tablets in the skimmers, which I have been doing. (sometimes 6 at a time, 3 each skimmer, as was recomended.)
I'm going to through in some Baking Soda, and Borax to get PH and TA up. Any other suggestions welcome.
