So I put in a pool at the end of last summer, beginning of fall. I am just starting the SWG, I used chlorine to keep it somewhat in level for the off season. I started the SWG a week ago, pentair IC40, and Sta-Rite S8M150 cartridge filter. My pools is plaster with pebble, approximately 22-25K gallons.
Here are my latest test results using the K-2006c:
Free Chlorine: 3ppm
Combined: 0
CH:250
CYA: 70
TA: 80
pH:7.6
Phosphates: 200 (Phosphate level came from the pool store, I don't have that test in my kit.)
My TA seems high, I am a novice but the only issue I can see is that I have 2-3 small spots of algae that creep up in spots where my pool sweep can't get to, and I haven't been very good at hand brushing them. Other than that the water looks great. Should I worry about the higher TA and Phosphates?
