Test results using Taylor K2006 kit...
pH: 7.6
FC: 6.5/7.0
CC: 0
TA: 65/70
CH: 215
CA: less than 30 (around 20)
Temp: 90
Salt: 3100/3200
I plan on keeping the pool opened throughout the year.
I lowered my SWG from 12hrs/63% to 12hrs/33% to bring FC down to 3.0/4.0.
I plan on bringing my CH level up to 230. If I do, is this an exceptavle level as long as I do not drop my CSI lower than -3.0? I know the recommendation here is 250-350. My hose water is softened, so I shouldn't have issues with CH levels increasing naturally over time, unless I start to absorb calcium from the plaster.
It looks like my pool is doing a good job holding it's FC levels despite a rather low CA level. I'll probably look to bring CA up closer to 40/45 to reduce the load on salt cell, but I know here at TFP the recommendation is a minimun of 60, with FC at 4.0. I'd like to keep my CA level as low as possible. Can someone explain why I should target a minimum of 60 versus a lower level that works well at protecting chlorine from sun?
Thanks in advance,
GD.
