Today's results:
TC 2.5
FC 2.5
PH 8.0
TA 100
CH 305
CYA 50
TDS 5000
Salt 3300
I know the PH is high - I added 1 quart of muriatic acid, as I've been doing every 2-3 day. From what I understand it's to be expected with the new pool.
Stabilizer is a bit low - I've calculated to add about 2 lbs of stabilizer, correct?
TC is a bit lower than it has been. I've been running the chlorinator at 40%, 10 hours a day. I'm thinking the low stabilizer and recent rain we've had contributed to the lower level. Does that seem right?
My biggest question is the total dissolved solids at 5000ppm. The pool store ppw says ideal level is 300-3000ppm. From what I understand, TDA includes salt, calcium, etc....so if the minimum salt level is 3000ppm, how could my TDA ever be below that? Is this something I should be concerned about?
For what it's worth, the pool looks great.
