When we open our pool in the spring, I always feel a bit like a newbie when it comes to testing and balancing the water. Our winters are long in Canada, it's been awhile!!
Here are the results of my first water analysis
FC 8
CC 0
CH 275
TA 90
CYA 40
pH 7.8
About the only thing I think I need to do here is increase my CYA to somewhere around 70-80 and maybe lower my pH a tad. Am I on the right track??
Also, we had to do a complete empty and refill (twice!!) last summer, so the borates I had added are gone. That's the stuff that's not necessary, but maybe makes your water feel softer and "sparkle" a bit more right??
Thanks!
