Hi,
Just opening the pool for the season. Water looks great, but want to make sure all the chemistry is right.
Just turned on solar yesterday, and already raised temperature from 56-62!
FAC: 4
TAC: 4
Salt 2550
CH: 340
CYA : 30
TA : 60
Cooper: 0
Iron: 0
Phosphates : 500
Questions:
1) Should I raise TA with alkalinity up to say 75-80, or higher? Pool store recommends that I do, but I thought I saw a post in here that 60 is just fine. What do the experts think?
2) I think I should raise CYA to 70 or so. Is that the right level? How much should I add? I bought the CYA pellets, not the liquid.
3) I just added 80lbs of salt to get salt into the 2750 range. I'll keep adding slowly until the SWG says it's good.
4) Do I understand correctly that the Phosphates are pretty much no problem, as long as we keep Chlorine and PH in optimal range?
