We had our inground 16 x 32 22,000 gallon, saltwater vinyl liner pool installed last fall. I was getting tired of driving back and forth to the pool store for test results (30 min one way). I bought the TF-100 test kit per the recommendations of this site. I just completed the weekly test, here are my results, as you can see the TA is very high. It might be slightly lower as I wasn't sure if the tube was supposed to turn completely red or if it was supposed to appear as a drop of red when R-009 hits the tube. As a newbie to the pool world, I'm looking for recommendations and guidance.
FC: 7
CC: 1.5
Calcium hardness: 75 ppm
TA: 170
CYA: 75 ppm
Daily pH: 8.2
Water temp: 86
We have been using one 4 lb bag of Bioguard Mineral Springs Renewal weekly. I want to switch to Morton Salt due to cost and the reviews. I'm purchasing it this weekend, does it tell you on the bag how much to add weekly? We have a Hayward Salt & Swim 3C.
Thank you!
