We had the pool built last fall and as a beginner have read the posts on ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry & Recommended Pool Chemistry. Bought the TK-2006 test kit and did the various tests this past weekend after the winter freeze in TX and have some questions on the results (FC 6, CC 6, pH 8, TA 90, CH 200, CYA 48). Downloaded the Pool Math App and logged the test results.
FAS-DPD - not sure if I did this test correctly but recorded the numbers
CH - level is outside range and App recommends adding 626 oz or 39 lbs of Calcium Chloride. Any suggestions where to buy as didn't find at HD or Lowes? This product should be spread across the surface of the deep end of the pool. Is there any thing else to watch out while adding this product?
pH/TA - levels outside range and App recommends lowering pH by adding 16 oz or 2 cups of Muriatic acid 31.45 %. After adding this product, does the TA need to be lowered?
Thanks for any feedback.
