I am working on figuring out what I need to purchase for beginning basic water balancing and treatment. I have been reading tons of info now feel like I'm in overload mode. So this is what I feel like I have taken away from all the various sites, articles, walk through's etc..
So here are my untreated water test results from my 230gal tub:
CH: 80ppm = this is low so needs raised to: ?? (some info says 130-150, some info says 70-90, some info says 220-320. Depends on what app, website, or guide you look at)
TA: 90ppm = seems to be ok, maybe a little low?, I'm reading 80-150ppm is the target range.
pH: 8.0 = this is high, needs to be at 7.4
Chlorine & CYA weren’t tested as there are none in the water yet.
Based on the above when I go to the Leslie pool store on Saturday morning to pick up what I currently need I am planning on the following:
Chlorine granules (specific brand or type recommended?)
Calcium Chloride
Dry acid (is there specific product name for this?)
pH decreaser
pH increaser
Metal remover
What else do I NEED to have on hand right out of the gate?
I am just planning to pick up enough to get me started so I can balance and sanitize the water before and after running a few rounds of ahh-some purge. Once I know what all I need for the long term, I will order online as I will have more time. So this is just to get me started this weekend.
Thanks in advance!
