Hi everyone, new here but have been lurking and gathering all this wonder info for about 2.5 weeks now. Attended all the pool school topics and searched as much as I can. After a 1.5 years of owning and pool and hating my pool company I finally bought a Taylor 2006 and started testing my pool thanks to this forum what a resource!! My pool company relied on pucks and so of course my pool had to be drained by 50% because I had 100-105 CYA (I diluted to confirm this number). So since draining part of my pool and filling again I have been monitoring my pool chems. The TA went up from 70-110 since draining, I also had to add Calcium Chloride to bring the CH up from 180 to 250. Anyway, each time I test TA it goes from green to clear to pink (drop 10 clear, to 11 light pink, 12 pink) so is my TA 100, 110, or 120? My PH does drift up and the Pool Math numbers I use to lower the PH seems to drop the PH but not quite as much as I thought along with not touching TA. Is that result maybe indicating I have too high of TA? I have read on here not to worry about TA unless Im having trouble controlling PH. All other Chems seem to change the pool by the predicted amounts. I suppose I could drop the PH to 7.0-7.2 and aerate as I have a water fall. Thoughts? Pool is 12,000 gallon plaster in ground. Thanks Bret
