I just had pool school three weeks ago and have never owned a pool until now :-D after taking water to pinch a penny my results are as follow:
TC 5.0
FC 5.0
PH 7.6
TA 60
calcium 225
stabilizer 25
salt 3300
So my question is.....I know I should add baking soda to get my TA up to around 100 but adding baking soda will also increase my PH(which is perfect now).....So what is more important...TA or PH.....because I know once I add it I will than have to add acid to lower my PH......am I understanding this correctly....second thing is my chlorine being 5.0...if I dont put in stabliler will my TC drop to normal levels...or should I add the stablizer now......Thanks in advance.....
