TF-100 Arrived - First Test and Looking for Guidance

[jmusits]

My TF-100 kit just arrived and I ran my first test. I'm looking for some guidance. 22K Gal IG Vinyl Pool in Upstate NY

FC - 6.5
CC - 0
PH - 7.2
TA - 60
CYA - 20

I didn't bother testing CH as it's a vinyl pool, can always do it next time to get a baseline.

I'm thinking I need to increase my PH a bit along with my CYA.

Thanks for everything you all do!

Leave the pH alone and yep you could use a CYA bump.

How's the water look?

Thanks!

Don't raise the PH? I thought the PH target was 7.6-7.8. Did I miss something?

Pool looks crystal clear and other than being a little cool side is a pleasure to swim in.

pH range is 7.2 to 7.8, correct when it gets to 8.

Add 20 ppm worth of CYA. Use the sock method. Follow the FC/CYA Levels for 40 ppm CYA.

Have a refresher! ABC's of Pool Water Chemistry - Trouble Free Pool

Thanks for the input. Thought I was going crazy, but I did re-read the ABCs and saw this:

A PH level of 7.7 and 7.8 is ideal, but really anything between 7.2 and 7.8 is doing fine, while levels between 7.2 and 8.0 are acceptable for swimming.

Just trying to have everything be as good as I can get it
