FC 4.5
TA 50
CAL 70
PH 7.5
CYA 20-25
I use Clorox
Above ground vinyl pool
PH drops .2 every other day so I've needed to add Borax to get it up to 7.5-7.6. I'm thinking the TA is too low to keep it stable, but I want to do this right and not overdo it as I like adding Borax much better than acid! Should I get the PH to 7.6 then add enough baking soda to get the TA up to 60? 70? 80?
I know my CYA is a little low, but I was trying an experiment to see if CYA is why I'm so very dry when getting out of the pool. After just doing tests, my hands feel like sandpaper, so my guess is it's not the CYA....
