I received my professional Taylor Kit today, and did all the tests. It is amazing what I am learning after 25 years! I have a cloudy pool that will not clear, and now everything is making sense as to why.
Here are my first set of numbers.
PH 7.8
FC 0.4
CC 2.2
TA 330
CH 0 (stayed blue so soft water?)
CYA 45
My guess is that I have to:
1. Lower the PH to get my TA down,.
2. add some calcium to raise the hardness
3. and I positively have to SLAM the pool.
I am just not sure in what order I should do all of this.
When I was at the pool store a few days ago, he did say that my CH was 0 and I confirmed it with my test. He wanted to sell me an expensive bag of calcium to raise it, but I remember one time before I used “Quick Joe” calcium chloride (for ice melt) and that worked fine.
Thanks for any advice!
