CSI - ??

Below are my latest test results... What is causing my larger negative CSI number? Trying to figure out what I need to do to keep it balanced?

Nothing really wrong with your CSI. Anything between -0.6 and +0.6 is considered acceptable. With a SWG, it’s good to maintain a negative CSI My goal for my “perfect” CSI is -0.3 to -0.03. You have low CH, and low TA, both of which feed into the CSI calculation. You can comfortably allow your pH to rise. Just keep it below 8.0.

My problem is the opposite. High TA & CH. Making it difficult to keep the CSI on the negative side.

F,

Looks to me like bring your TA and CH up to the middle of our recommended levels would get you to -.15..

Thanks,

Play with your CSI calculation adjusting your water temp down as expeted water temps drop.
