Low TA

[MK1985]

I did a test tonight and was happy with most of the results.
FC-13
CC-.5
Ph-7.1
TA-40
CH-60
CYA-80

The high FC level was not my doing, I had the wife pick up some bleach at the store and she decided to dump the whole gallon into the pool! My Ph level has always been at that level never higher or lower, but the TA is running low and I do have some baking soda that I can add. Looking at the results should that be my next step?

Yes. Raise it to about 60. It doesn't have to be exact. If it works out to some nice multiple of boxes or you have just a trace left in the package, go higher or lower. A few kids splashing will take care of raising the pH. You're well below shock level so it will be safe.

I have a bag that I bought last year that is unused and it's 6 lbs. Will have to use the pool math to figure out how much to use.
