Early Levels after SLAM, new vacuum and gauge replaced!

[melsteph]

Thanks so much for the help with the SLAM and recommendation on new robotic vacuum! Things are actually starting to look pretty again!

Here are my current readings and I'd like your thoughts on further tweaking or let things ride before I do further steps.
FC - 6
pH - 8 (adding acid every couple of days to bring it down as well as the TA) Normal?? What causes this?
TA - 160
CH - 325
CYA - 50
temp - 74
I have more stabilizer and calcium chloride to add, just wasn't sure I needed to following TFP.

I have my SWG running at 60% for 6 hours a day right now.

Thanks as always!
Melissa

You mention the SLAM Process. Did you complete the SLAM and meet all three exit criterfia?

CH of 325 is fine. No reason to add more.

Your TA of 160 causes your pH to rise rapidly. IT is normal with that TA level.

You can use CYA at 70 as summer approaches in TX.
