Just got my test kit today and did the pool water test. The results:
FC 4.5
CC 1
TC 5.5
TA 170
CH 500? (I added 50 drops already and the solution looked like fine pinkish/light red dots floating in the water)
CYA 70-80? (hint of black dot on 70, and unable to see black dots at 80)
PH 8
Salt 1980
The water is a a bit yellow/green with some sediment on the bottom. So what to do, should I shock the pool? I know I need to adjust my PH and TA - but do I also need to add muriatic acid to lower the PH? Any suggestions or steps to take are appreciated. Thx
