I have a 32,000 gal inground, vinyl with a Aquarite SWG. I used Ben's kit for the first time today. (I felt like some kind of mad scientist with all these vials of colored liquid!)

pH 7.8
FC 6.5
CC 0.5
Alk 130
CYA 50
Cal 130
Salt 2600

Do I need to do anything to the pH? From what I read on poolsolutions.com this is a desirable pH.

A light on the SWG display is flashing "Check Salt." See results above. Is the SWG telling me it's too low, or is it just reminding me to check it?

Thanks for teaching me about good pool water management.

PH is starting to get on the high side. Muratic Acid will bring it down.

I don't remember if you posted your pool size in gallons - so I can't tell you how much to add. There is a free program available from msmith. Look for one of his postings a click on the link in his signature line. The program will tell you what to add based on your pool size.
