Brand new IG vinyl pool and first time pool owner. It's been up and running since last Thursday.
Been working on getting my numbers at the proper level from initial fill (city water from hose)
Here is where I am currently:
pH 7.0
TA 130
FC 8
CC 0.4 (holding here since Saturday's readings)
CH 120
CYA 90
Salt 3500
Water Temp 86 (couple of sunny days kicked the temp up 2 degrees )
I started with TA at 300. Using MA, got it down to 80. But, that resulted in a pH drop below 7(no actual number guessed at below 6.8)
Using Pool Math, I added 128oz of Borax to raise the pH. I have no means of aeration besides swimmers. My stupid jets do not rotate so I can break the surface. Hence, the borax
But, this affected my TA.
I'm stuck. If I add MA to drop the TA, my pH is going to plummet again. So, what is my best bet to get these within recommended levels?
And, I'm going to pre-thank the gurus on here for any advice!
