The pool is full. The water turned green on me this year, the filter is running and we are preparing to shock. I've been doing the BBB method for several years but always seem to question myself at start up time. Here are my current test results:
FC-0
TA-50
CH-120
PH-way high...off the color chart
CYA-40
I know I need to lower my PH before I begin the shock process but am a little concerned about how low my TA is. According to the pool calculator to lower my PH from 8.2-7.2 I need to add 42 oz. of muriatic acid. I will retest after adding acid before I begin shocking. Is there anything I am forgetting?
