Test Results and Chlorine questions

[turk2012]

Sorry about that. I think i posted the other one but when i did the site timed out on me and i didn't see it online within a few hours so i figured it never went through. Also, I am using bleach as my chlorine source.

Another question -- what kind of pool is it -- gunnite, vinyl, fiberglass?

[turk2012]

It is an inground vinyl pool. 21,500 gallon.

Just tested again this morning and my alkalinity is now 80 ppm. I tested it 3x because i couldn't believe it. I swear it was 200 for the past two days as i tested it multiple times. Not sure what would bring that drop but i'm happy as i was not looking forward to using muriatic acid.

Good. TA of 80 is just fine. How does the water look now? You do NOT need to raise your calcium level.

Do us a favor and put your pool specs in a signature line. (Use the link in my signature to make one for yourself.) Put type of pool, volume, type of filter, size of pump, any equipment you have and whether or not you have a Taylor K-2006 kit. It makes it easier for us to help if we don't have to scroll up looking for information in a thread.
