Needing to add chemicals

How do I edit the signature? I added stuff to the about you section. Is that the signature? I have a link to my pool there too. Not sure if that is the signature and what people can see.

Signatures appear below each post. If on mobile, turn defice to landscape to see them.

Ok. Got my pH to 7.2 or 7.3. I have a hard time deciding what it is. Here is the photo.





It looks close to 7.2 than 7.5. How much do I aerate if at alll? I turned on my waterfall , but I guarantee by morning my pH will be Hot pink in color again

It doesn't have to be exact so close enough is perfect

So do I aerate or not to raise pH but not TA?

No real reason to. The pH will rise with or without aeration. Might be a touch faster with induced aeration, but just leaving the pool uncovered you will get natural pH rise with elevated TA levels.

Thanks for adding your test kit!
How do you measure salt?
Do you have the TF-Pro or TF-Pro Salt?
No need to add the "Taylor 3 way OTO Test kit" as those reagents are included with the TF-Pro.

I have a hard time deciding what it is.

A consistent background is key. To get good backlighting, hold the block in front of your computer monitor/tablet/phone with a blank white screen displayed. Also, try holding the block sideways or upside down. Sometimes that helps distinguish colors better. I also use two old hotel keycards to mask off areas and narrow down my decision.
