Pool was drained and filled in the first week of this month. CYA was added. Test kit came in on the second week. My goal was to get the water to TFP specs and ready for borax treatment. I have been lowering my TA for the last 3/4 days. Here are today's readings.
FC---4.5
CC---0
pH---7.5
TA---80
CH---290
CYA--30
I made an excel table of last weeks tests. I will try to attach a pdf file of it. One thing I noticed was my CH went up from 220 to 290 when I got done lowering the TA. Is this normal? It is possible it is my testing mo. When adding R0012 the color first turns to shades of purple and slowly turns to blue. At what level of purple/blue do I say enough?
My CYA is at the lower limit. Should I add more CYA since I have no intention of using tabs anymore, except for vacations?
And finally, can I do borates now or should I wait awhile to see if everything stays put.?
Thanks
