Ok
I posted a few weeks ago about new liner and water fill which I just had done
Have been using TFPC method to get my levels right and currently looking like:
20k vinyl liner / 1.5 hp motor / sand filter
FC 6 adding about 60+ oz 8.25 bleach daily in the evening - so, losing around 2ppm a day - pretty much full sun, when sunny
CC zero
CYA 40
pH 7.5
TA 80
I am interested in using BBB method, as I did use optimizer in the past with bioguard system and really felt it made a difference
The above levels have been steady over the past few weeks and I feel I have a good overall grasp of the daily upkeep with the TFPC method
I have read the posts on the forum about how to go about adding acid / Borax and have everything I need with respect to the anticipated volumes of additives.
My main concern is the raise in TA that I am going to see
Anyone feel I would be better off NOT going ahead with the Borax/acid addition? as it would throw my TA out of whack?
If I go ahead with BBB - will I really need to lower the TA? - I will be anticipating a rise in TA of around 115 giving me an anticipated TA of approx 200.
If I raise TA to this level, will I need to lower?
As far as the TFPC methods I have read about / employed so far.........lowering TA is the one I don't really want to attack as it seems so laborious and time consuming !!
If the TA will really need to be addressed after implementing the BBB method - I may be inclined to simply stick with the TFPC method without borates
