New Pool Owner... Lost

[todd.west]

A bit lost on how to get my alkalinity down and the pool back into shape. Salt levels were low too ~1800. Might be too cold still for those to be accurate.

Just opened for the season. SWG ~30000 gallons.

New to the forum so let me know what other details you need.

Those were the pool store tests. Here are the test using the recommended kit tf salt. They did have me put pucks in the skimmer basket. Could be why the fc is so high?

Manage your pH and TA will come down over time. No need to force it down.

You'll find that following pool store advice will be detrimental in the long and probably short run. Please take some time to read through the many articles here on how to easily manage your pool.
