Pool party tomorrow...how's #s look?

[Jpolsen]

Just need some expert opinions on my water chemistry. I think I'm in good shape, but want a perfect pool for tomorrow's festivities. Appreciate your help!

FC-5.0
CC-.5
TA-70
CH-330
CYA-60-70 range
Borates 30

With evaporation and rain, my CYA will naturally come down so I'm not too concerned with that. I'm adding borax to raise borate level back to 50.

What else...anything?

Have a safe and fun Memorial Day!

You are right at minimum for FC for 70 CYA.

I'd bump that up to 7 or 8 right now and all the way to 10 immediately before the party.

pH is also important for swimmer comfort. I don't see it listed.

Hello I also am having a pool party and need to know how my numbers look. I have an 18' AGP that's 4' deep. I have the K-2006 Taylor test kit and my numbers (I just took @ 2:30pm) were as follows:

FC-5
CC-.5
TA-100
PH-7.4
CYA-70
CH-150

How do they look?

Not sure how I missed pH as it's written right in front of me, but it's at 7.7 currently. I may push it down a couple points for the swimmers. I'm sure the splashing will drive it up again.

Will add chlorine now. Thanks for the extra set of eyes!

You need some more chlorine, too. Same recs as above.
