thx! I do not have a soft water system plumbed to my pool as of yet. I think I got it. I'll keep testing and trying to keep the TA around 70, the CSI near 0 if possible, and everything in tune.Fc is
You may need to take ph to 7.2 if your ta rises due to your fill water otherwise just 7.5 is probably fine. The idea here is that you check ta every few acid doses to see what’s going on & see if its rising & so you don’t risk it getting too low. (Below 50)
Monitor your ch at least monthly & adjust the other parameters to keep csi neutral to slightly negative so scaling isn’t an issue.
Are you using softened water for the autofill? I forgot…
Play around with the csi calculator to get an idea of what future changes will look like & how to adjust for them such as warmer water, increased ch etc. & how you’ll need to compensate with ta & ph to stay in the good zone so it’s not a surprise.
So long as you’re within recommended levels you’re on the right path

Yesterday:
FC6.0
Today I got:
FC80
pH7.8
Temp82
CSI-0.20
I raised SWG 5% after seeing the FC drop to 6
Today:
FC8.5
pH7.5
TA70
Temp80
CSI-0.50
I'm thinking of waiting to add MA until FC gets to 8 so that the CSI will be closer to zero and I'll see how the TA goes along with this method. I'll be checking and hope to keep it all looking good and I'll check CH. Checked salt cell today and not a lick of CH build up in it, so that was encouraging
