What order to address?

[Luric]

Current levels after clearing opening algae. What order should I adjust? NOTE: due to water temps we are working as a traditional pool w LC for the next few weeks before our salt cell will make chlorine.

FC: 5
CC: 0
pH: 7.0
TA: 40
CH: 225
CYA: 90

I'm thinking I should get to these levels but feel free to change my mind

FC: 7
CC: 0
pH: 7.2 (may even leave at 7 as our waterfall constantly drags our pH up)
TA: 60
CH: 350
CYA: 70 (aiming for SWG level since we'll be running sooner than later, and I'd rather not have to drain half of our water for a few weeks just to have to ack up our CYA again a few days later)

Before you adjust any levels, be sure you have completed the SLAM Process in its entirety (passed all 3 criteria). If so, then your CYA certainly is a bit high..... just a bit. You can wait and it should drop to 80 which is fine, or perhaps it's just a testing variance that made it appear high. Your call. If you decide to lower the CYA anyways, do that first. I wouldn't force the pH so low if you're not in a SLAM mode. The low pH, TA, and water temp will equate to a low CSI on your plaster, so just be mindful of that too. Increasing the TA and CH sound like a good move. Overall I think you have the right idea. Just stick close to the PoolMath APP.

Add a bit of chlorine and leave everything else alone and just monitor which way things go.
