I tested on 5/29 to the following:
FC 3
PH 7.5
ALK 50
CAL 50
CYA 0
Salt 850
Added CYA, a tiny bit of baking soda and Borax and my ALK and CAL actually dropped to 30 for both.
I know ALK and CAL aren't important to an AGP with a vinyl liner, but I'm wondering how those low results affect the feel of water on the skin after you get out of the pool as I really want to improve that. I've have added salt the past 2 summers and I think it may be a tad easier on the eyes, but believe I am getting some rust where the track meets the sides on the bottom and am concerned about that.
Can the low ALK and Cal feel bad on the skin?
