I got my TF-100 test kit the other day and now would like to know if I'm on the right track.
Numbers tested on 5/14/13:
PH = 8.2
FC = 3.5
CC = 0
T/A = 170
CH = 340
CYA = 20
SALT = 3100
I lowered my PH with HTH Sodium Bisulfate (SB)
(7 boys swam the evening before, tested ph in morning at 8.2 and lowered it again with SB, waited and hour and tested all numbers)
Numbers tested today 5/19/13:
PH = 7.5
FC = 3
CC = 0.5 = TC = 3.5?
T/A = 160
CH = 280
CYA = 30
SALT = 3100
T/A is still high so do I continue with the SB to lower PH or do I use something else to lower the T/A? Do I add more Stabilizer? Or wait till I have the PH and T/A straight?
I do have some staining on the walls of the pool that I will have to try the Ascorbic Acid to get rid of. Do I deal with it before or after balancing the water or doesn't matter?
