Ok gentlemen...another post from the reluctant pool owner...
36000 gal vinyl liner in South Carolina.
FC=10
pH=7.6
TA=100
CH=80
CYA=70
Temp=60
Taylor k-2006 Test Kit
Just brought pumps up after winter, SLAMed to clear up green water. Took about 35 gallons of 8% bleach to get my FC up, but it is holding well. A few days later, water is still cloudy but not green.
My question is this: with the low CH, it makes my "WaterGram" (calculation wheel from the test kit) saturation index off...I know that this site says not to add calcium back to a vinyl liner pool, but if I adjust the CH, then my saturation index comes back in line. So...should I worry about it or not? Should I even be using the Watergram wheel, or just use the target values and forget the wheel. It is handy to see what changes will do to bring me in balance, but other than that, I don't really know why I am even looking at it. Thanks.
