I'm just preparing to open the pool (plaster in-ground). Haven't SLAMed yet or added anything. Just figuring out what I'll need.
I'm a bit of an unusual case. You know the crazy snow out west this winter? That's me. I always remove a lot of water when I close in the fall (3ft) because the snow fills the pool back up over the winter. 3ft is usually enough but this winter I had to dig down and cut a hole in the ice to remove an extra 2ft of water to preemptively keep the skimmer from flooding. The pool is now full and probably 75-80% fresh snowmelt from snow that fell directly in (and much clearer than usual).
PH is 7.8
TA is 60
CH is 80
The Pool Math app recommends higher TA & much higher CH. But my Saturation Index is 0.1, in the OK range.
Is it okay to leave TA & CH like this? What's gonna happen if I do that? Or should I increase both?
