We just opened our pool and I took a sample to our pool store (I have the large kit I got from you guys here also)
Here are their numbers:
CYA- 9
FC- 0
TC - .6
PH- 7.1
TA- 88
Hardness- 59
They said I need to increase my alkalinity and calcium. I thought I didn't have to add calcium with an above ground pool?? Not sure if that's correct or not. They also said I need to adjust my PH down (prob because I'm raising alkalinity and that will also raise PH right?)
Anyway I bought baking soda, calcium hardener, PH down, CYA (I hate this stuff....takes forever to dissolve and show up in the pool test)
So, do I need to add the baking soda, PH down and calcium hardner? If so, how much of each? (I use bleach so will be adding to raise that)
Thanks!
