Hello!
I’m a new hot tub owner! We’ve had a HotSpring Grandee for 4 weeks now. There’s 5 of us that use it nearly every night, 3 children & 2 adults.
I’ve been wrestling with balancing the water with my ColorQ Pro7 telling me the TA was around 12, so I added quite a bit of pH/Alk upper...and it sent my pH to above 8.
I took my water sample to 2 pool stores and got vastly differing test results from the same sample...
I found this site & picked up the TF-100 & made adjustments per my readings & the Pool Math app, I’m wondering if I’m on track or where I should adjust with your help!
I don’t trust the pool stores or my ColorQ 7 Pro, at least I believe the ALK reagent to be faulty
TF-100
PH 7.5/MFG Spec 7.2-7.8
FCL 2.5/MFG Spec 1-5ppm
CC 1
TC 3.5
TA 70/ MFG Spec 40-120ppm
CH 100 ppm/ MFG Spec 25-75ppm
CYA 80 ppm
Salt 2200 ppm/MFG Spec 1500-2000ppm
And thank you for your time! I’m here to learn!
