Hi All,
I recently installed a stenner pump to fight my constant PH rise due to SWG, aeration (waterfall / grotto style) and kids splashing "vigorously", I emphasize, everyday.
I got the stenner pump tuned and PH is sitting nicely at 7.6 as of a few days ago but i also noticed that ALK is at 20 [TA @ 38 with CYA @ 54].
I already added 10 lbs of baking soda and next day TA remained the same. Pump runs 24/7 @1100 RPMs. All tests using newly purchased Lamotte reagents with colorQ. TA reagent expires in 1 year.
The SWG is also new and very oversized and I'm still trying to fine tune it. I already reduced it's output by 5% twice over few days to not exceed target FC for CYA assuming over production will not be protected and just burn off? Is this a good assumption? FC was at 6.42. I'll need the latest numbers of FC after latest change.
I'm assuming that by reducing the SWG it will require less MA which in turn will help not push TA as far down. But if I were to increase CYA to SWG recommended levels, I may need to boost SWG again a bit.
But CSI is good. Should I be worried about such low TA? Pool is crystal clear...
Fc 6.42
Tc 6.42
Ph 7.6
Alk 20
Ch 248
Cya 54
Temp 86 from SWG
Salt 3800 from SWG
Borax 30-50 test strips...
Thanks in advance,
Allen
