first time with the pool this summer and noticed some small white flakes on the bottom/ledges of the pool near a return so I'm guessing they're coming from there. I do notice some white sandy-like stuff in the robot cleaner as well. A quick search looks like a combination of high TA/pH/CH might be the root cause but figured I'd post my full set of #s from the TF-100 for any other advice.
I did clean the SWG a few weeks back and saw some marginal scaling on the blades but haven't looked since. planning on that this evening.
I do know my CYA is on the low side and TA marginally high but everything else looks to be in line with recommended levels. We did get some chlorine pucks from the PB initially and I have plenty of those left over. Should I put some of those in a floater, turn down my % on the SWG to keep FC in line and see if that'll get the CYA to creep up? Apart from that, looks like cyanuric acid (stabilizer/conditioner) in a sock in front of a return?
pool is in full sun here in DFW so gather I want to get it up around 50-60?
FC - 4
TA - 90
pH - 7.8
CH - 350
CYA - 30-40
