Our SWG was just started yesterday and I am little confused about the recommended levels.
The water balance for SWG suggests the following levels:
Salt: ~3,000
CYA: 70-80
FC: 3-5
TA: 60-80
pH: 7.5-7.6
Here are my current readings:
CYA: 40
FC: 4.5
TA: 110
CH: 100
pH: 7.8
Salt: 2,800
So from the looks of it, I need to add some salt and CYA to raise those levels. I also need to lower pH and TA. However the guidance for lowering TA suggests only doing it if I see signs of scaling or if I'm having trouble with pH. I have neither. Should I still go through the practice to lower TA for SWG purposes?
Thanks all.
