Got the kit. Ran through tests twice to be sure I got it. What a great kit! My SWG pool of 20800Gal is new water about 2 weeks ago. I am running the pump 12h/day and the SWG at 75%.
My readings are: (I put my goals in ()s - am I correct?)
FC 1 (3-5)
CC 0 (0)
TC 2 (with taylor basic) (3-5)
pH 7.6 (with taylor basic) (7.5-7.8)
T/A 200 (60-80)
CH 220 (50-300)
CYA 20 (70-80)
Salt 3000 (3000)
Borates 0 (0)
Temp 82F
CSI 0.16 (good so far!)
Using the pool calculator the suggested FC levels for CYA levels on a SWG is 1 - so it seems to be working.
Actions:
[1] I should first adjust the CYA to 70, then see if the SWG then pushes the FC up. So tomorrow find a tube sock for 139oz of stabilizer. That's a lot I think - should I do it in a couple passes (1/2, then 1/2 a week later)
[2] Try to lower TA by by reducing pH to 7.0 using muriatic, then use baking soda to raise pH back to 7.5?
By correcting the CYA and then the TA, that should level things out so that I can produce enough FC with the SWG. Once these two are in line, I can start adjusting the SWG % and pump run-time. I would also like to look at Borates after I get everything smooth.
Am I correct on all this? Am I getting the right idea for BBB and TFP?
Thanks!
