i have a 19-20k gallon vinyl pool that was installed this may. Here are my results.
pH: 7
Br 2
Cl 1
CYA 30
FC 5
CC 1
TC 6
TA 30
Ca 0
Looks like i may need to increase my TA and possibly add some buffer to raise my pH. Should i address the TA first and see if that fixes my issue? Also to note, my uncle threw in one bottle of "shock" while i was away last week because he noticed some algae forming. this was done 4 days ago. I live in CT for what it is worth. I am so thankful i found this community! I was so nervous about the pool chemistry, as every single person i asked had a different way to balance their pool.
