CSI -0.27
keeping a tight reign on chems really keeps my salt cell clean.
but adding all the acid each summer while salt cell running to keep PH down drives my TA down.
TA stays pretty much at 50 but by end of summer each year TA dances down in the 40's (each winter i turn off cell and use chlorine)
this year i decided to bump TA by adding baking soda (i have never added anything to move TA before)
very next chlorine drop test was cloudy, not clear as usual and TA test does not turn RED like always, red... but not... RED.
i read other 'cloudy test' threads but nothing was hinted at for a cause of cloudiness.
thought i'd share this data point and see if any others have directly correlated adding soda to getting cloudy test results.
