Alright y’all at this point I’m just talking through my process, if any of this sounds off kilter just shout it out.
Today’s tests:
pH: 7.5-7.6
TA: 60
FC: 6.0
That’s all the measurements I did this round, last CYA measurement a couple days ago was 20, as far as I’m aware nothing should have changed that. Not sure if I should bother bumping that up for winter or just hold off til things warm up. I do have the acid on hand. No reason to suspect CCs at the moment, not sure if it’s common to still check daily or only when things seem “off.”
Up until this point the pump has been running 12 hours a day with the SWCG at 34%. I also ran the pump an extra hour or two last night to mix in the baking soda, so that could explain a bit more increase in FC perhaps? I’ve just rescheduled the pump for 9 hours a day and left the SWCG at 34%, will see what happens over the next day or so. I’m also still letting the SWCG run anytime the pump is running via flow switch, but I will put the start and stop lugs on the mechanical timer likely tomorrow to limit the SWCG to only be on within the pump’s scheduled run time. Long story short, I’m just experimenting at this point to see how different changes affect the FC, but it’s about to all go out the window the next cold snap we get and the SWCG stops generating and I have to go to liquid chlorine anyway.
