TA question

[WaterwayHaven]

My TA has been 60 for a few weeks. Pool math suggests adding baking soda to increase it. From what I have read in different posts in here, I can ignore that suggestion as long as it is within the recommended range (50-90) and just continue to focus on my PH which tested at 7.7 (recommended range = 7.2-8.0). Did I get that right?

Thank you…my pool looks great since I took over and slammed it earlier this summer. The advice in this forum has been spot on.

Are you continuing to add drops until there's no further color change? Do you have a SpeedStir? TA of 50 or above is perfectly fine.

PoolMath is just a calculator. If you give it a target, it will tell you how to achieve it. Don't blindly follow its output.

I am adding until no further color change. No speedstir.

I didn’t enter the target. Didn’t want to follow its recommendation blindly hence why I asked the question.

No speedstir.

I would highly recommend getting one. It makes testing much easier, faster, and enjoyable.
