Good Morning Guys/Gals..
Another beautiful morning here on the East Coast and I wanted to wish everyone a nice good morning as I'm having my cup of coffee and reviewing my chemical readings throughout the week. I want to see if I can get a little better understanding as to what happened here.
First the specs on the Pool:
- In-ground, Vinyl Liner
- 23,000 Gallon
- Hayward DE Filter W/ 1.5 HP Superpump
- No SPA
** Initially when I opened up the pool in early June, the PH was very low. To the point that I had to add add about 18 boxes of Borax to get the PH back up to normal. Now everything looks good with the exception of the TA. Now (According to the Pool Calculator), I'm being told the Lower the PH back down to 7.2 and aerate it to raise it back up. The funny thing is, according to the Calculator, since the PH is slightly low, its telling me to raise the PH with 1.1lbs of Borax again.
Here are my numbers from the week:
- Water Temp: 85
- FC: 7.71
- PH: 7.5
- TA: 100
- CH: 152
- CYA: 40
Since the numbers aren't that far off, I wanted to get your thoughts..?
Thanks for all of your help..! Rick
