New Pool Owner - recent results

This was our first season, haven't had any issues but a lot of rain last month and I'm seeing some differences in my numbers, overall water is great, only complaint is it's a bit cloudy.

We'll be open for one more month, not sure I should be concerned about the CYA this late in season?

Pool math suggests adding 9lbs baking soda for the TA

TF-100 results:
FC: 5.5
CC: 1
pH: 7.5
TA: 80
CH: 425ppm
CYA: 52

Thanks,
Dave

With CC of 1, it looks like you have something growing in there. I'd jump in and start a SLAM Process now, make it a short one I hope!

You should consider your CYA at 60. Anything over 50 = 60, and requires more FC.

Your TA is fine.

Dave,

Do not screw with the TA... unless it goes below 50...

Are you still using the Mineral Springs Bioguard System??

We haven't had to do anything but add some salt (went with Mortons) and lower the PH with acid, so it's been great.
