So I just did an Ascorbic acid treatment for the first time yesterday and finished around 3 pm. I added Polyquat 60 as well. Today after 3 pm I added some soda ash to get the following levels:
FC - 0
TA - 40
PH - 6.8 - 7.0
CH - 300
CYA - 60
Temp - 65
CSI - -1.35
That CSI worries me. Will it be ok at that level for a week or two? Since the Ascorbic acid treatment says to keep PH under 7.2 for a week or two weeks, I’m assuming it won’t improve until I can raise it closer to 7.8.
I just want to make sure I’m not making a mistake here. Tomorrow I was going to start adding liquid chlorine every hour to try and get the FC to hold. I added 2.2 pounds of Ascorbic acid so assuming will take a lot.
My pool is plaster and 12,000 gallons. Thanks!
