So yesterday afternoon I started a small hose siphoning the pool to lower the level because it was again at the top of the skimmer height and starting to drain out the skimmer (AGP) - thanks 3 weeks of rain...
Anyway, went to bed, got up, started working, and didn't notice I hadn't stopped it until about 12 hours after I'd intended to. Luckily its a tiny hose from a window AC, so the pool was only down about an extra foot. Refilled it added some chlorine, and did a full set of tests...
I haven't been able to ever get my pool above 7.2 pH except by adding soda ash, probably because of the 8 million gallons of rainwater all the time, so I'm ok with keeping it there,, but I wasn't sure if my latest other numbers are ok, or need to be changed...
I'm worried about overdoing the TA if I try to raise the pH.
Does upping the CYA matter if the pool spends 90% of the time with the solar cover on it? I am basing that on the last two months of almost constant rain, so maybe someone in the northeast has a better idea what I should expect for the next two months, and if having CYA this low is ok if I usually have the cover on...
Thanks!
