I have been using the BBA method now all summer. Works like a charm.
No more pucks; all liquid chlorine for me here on out.
My CYA is higher than I like (due to pucks) but I maintain FC pretty consistently using the TFP tables.
Pool = 25k Gallons, Plaster Inground with Spa Spillover and Waterfalls
CYA=103
FC = 8.2
pH = 8.1
TA = 65
TH = 364
I have added 36oz of Muriatic Acid each week and yet the pH seems to keep rising to around 8-8.2.
Question 1: Should I worry about my TA being low, from everything I read it should be a little higher like 70-90 thus I should consider adding 5-10lbs of baking soda?
Question 2: My pH keeps rising quickly (presumably, due to low TA and the fact the spillover (aeration) runs daily from spa). Should I keep maintaining weekly with MurAcid, or fix TA first?
Question 3: My TH is high but there is nothing I can do about it but replace water, which is probably something I should plan due to my CYA being high as well, correct?
Thanks for all the support TFP friends. I feel so much more confident with my pool these days!
