Hi TFPerss,
I checked the water yesterday. I wanted to bounce these numbers off you all.
FC 5
CC 0
pH 7.5
TA 110
CH 300
CYA 30
water temp 87
My pool is not salt water. Resurfaced some years back to Wet Edge Satin Matrix (it's aggregate). My CSI shows things are okay. I float one puck at a time to help ease the chlorine loss, and I use a solar blanket.
I lowered my TA a couple of months ago from 100 to 80. It seems to have crept back up. If I am not crazy, I recall having read something here at TFP about the natural level that TA will find. I am beginning to wonder if in my pool, the natural baseline level for the TA is 100+.
1) Would you lower the TA in this situation? It's just that if I lower it, it may rise again.
2) Wait, and see if it continues to rise?
3) Could the surface play a part in this? Could the aggregate prefer an environment with more alkalinity?
Thanks in advance for any input.
