I have been maintaining the pool the tfp way since completion this summer and ot has gone very well. I had been testing daily then had a week out of town so I let the fc get above range (but under slam) just in case, got home and all was still well lol. I lowered the swg to 15% and have been letting it slowly drift down into normal range. I have also lowered the acid dispense level on the intelliph figuring lower swg will slow the need for ma.
Now as the evenings are getting cooler I've noticed the ta dropping and the csi drifting further negative. Pool math suggested adding baking soda as the ta was 50, this also showed bringing the csi from @-.5 to @-.3.
I think I'm on the right path but as I've not dealt with this "season" just wanted to confirm
In addition, we have solar that I have not shut down as of yet as it is still getting the pool into the low to mid 70's by midday but our overnight lows are getting to where I'm going to be crossing my fingers that the freeze protection works on intellicenter. Do most in socal "winterize" the solar at some point or am I ok to let it ride?
