First, I want to thank you for starting me in the right direction. I have lowered my PH gradually, now 7.7, the TA (96 adjusted) has not changed much, so I'm heading the right way. My FC is 3, my CYA is 30 & my CA is 150. If I understand the S.I. correctly, that puts me close to 0. My goal now is to maintain that.
Wanted to clarify something I said earlier. When I stated my pool looked good to be 14 years old, I was not referring to the PH looking good. What I meant to say was that for my pool to look like it was plastered yesterday, and the fact I have never had a build-up in my SWG, the chemicals must have been close to correct. I've never seen a post claiming a pool can be way out of balance and have a finish like I do after 14 years.
Since I am now able to get much need help managing my pool and having an understanding more about my test kit........ The Pool Cleaner is history. Wish I had know then what I know now.
Thank You Again.........
