Hey all,
Working on lowering my TA the last several days. Hooked up the original pump we had replaced with sand filter and shooting it over the pool to speed along the PH rise. Sand filter pump is 3k gph and the original pump is 2.5k gph rated.
Besides bad acid and bad testing operator, is there anything that would prevent TA from dropping below 100?
Accidently opened muriatic acid yesterday that wasn't the 20 baum but the weaker stuff. no splash etc.
Started the day at TA 130, ph 7.5+, ended the day at 120.
Test at 730am today
PH 7.5
FC 6
CC 0
CH 200
TA 120
CYA 70
Not sure about salt, ran out of strips and waiting on test kit, but low salt light isn't lit on the swg.
Added 20 oz 20 baum (32%) Muriatic acid instead of 42oz to start sneaking up on target of 80 or so TA.
Tested at 1015am down to 110
Tested at 3pm, ph up to 7.5 and TA down to 100.
Wife and friend were swimming / using leaf rakes due to leaving pool uncovered for aeration.
Added another 20 oz 20 baum (32%) Muriatic Acid at 430pm after they got out. We had 6 tenths of rain ~ 5pm, pool uncovered.
Test at 815pm ph at 7.2, TA still at 100. tested twice, same result.
Thanks!
Mike
