If the sample turns red, pink, or yellow, you are done, your TA is zero, and your PH is very very low (4.5 or lower).
Use Soda Ash aka Washing Soda. Calculate how much to use using Poolmath.
Click pH on that screen. Set pH of 6.8 now and 7.5 as target. Select pH up/Soda Ash as the chemical type, Enter 0 for TA. It should give you an amount to add.
Add amount it states and circulate 30 minutes. (to prove you did it right, should be 3lbs.)
Test pH, repeat these 3lb additions, until your pH is in the 7's after 30 minutes, then test TA.
Get a 5 gallon pail, add hot water, dissolve, then pour in front of a return slowly. It may take several batches.
