Well the BBB method has landed!! Pool looks fantastic and has never been more "sparkley". I have several questions, many regarding test results and the micromanagement of the results.
1. Results approx 2.5 weeks ago: TC 3 FC 3 CC 0 pH 7.0 Alk 210 CYA 20 ish CH 390 Borates 20 Salt 1510
(Spent 2 weeks getting Alk down. Took 14 gal muratic acid .)
2. Last Fri morning before borax: TC 5 FC 5 CC 0 pH 7.2 Alk 60 CYA 20 ish CH 510 Borates 20 Salt 1920
(Finished adding the Borax/acid per the calculator.)
3. Sat morning: TC 3 FC 3 CC 0 pH 7.4 Alk 100 CYA 20 ish CH 500 Borates 50 Salt 1920
(Turned on CAT controller and calibrated the pH. ORP read 565 and Stenner bleach tank immediately kicked on.)
4. Last night: TC 2 FC 2 CC 0 pH 7.5-7.6 Alk 100 CYA 20 ish CH 510 Borates 50 ORP 650
Am I good?? The system/pool seems to be on autopilot (sorry PoolSean not your Autopilot, yet). Looks great, smells great, etc. Do I need to re-lower the Alk? Is my CYA at 20 ish OK (still can barely see the dot with tube full on 30 scale)? And why did my CH jump? Do I need to fix it?
Thanks for the ongoing help.
