I have a good test kit on order, expect it anyday now. In the interim, I am daily testing only CL PH and TA.
I am having trouble getting the TA down.
I will list measurements for the last few days, so that hopefully you will get a decent picture.
3/16/15
CL =5.0
PH = 7.6
TA = 210
Added 20 oz acid, and ran spa pump and air pump for three hours. (in addition to the pool filter running 5 hrs previously)
3/17/15
CL= 5.0
PH= 7.6 (3 drops of #3 brought it down to 7.4)
TA= 200
Added 20 oz acid, and ran pool filter and air pump for three hours. (in addition to the filter running 5 hrs previously)
3/19/15
CL= 5.0+
PH= 7.6 (2 drops to get to 7.2)
TA= 200
Added 20 oz acid, Ran filter and air pump for additional three hours.
3/21/15
CL= 5.0+
PH= 8.0+- (2 drops to get to 7.4)
TA= 170
It is going the right direction, but SLOWLY. Is there something that I am missing?
Thanks for indulging the long post.
