Huh. How come I didn't know about that link? Y'all hiding stuff from me again?

Uh, I uploaded all the Taylor vids, because they are so hard to view, and can't be directly linked. I meant to put them in sticky in testing, but I forgot about them. Here are all the ones I've put up:

At some point in the recent past, Pool Doc said to keep my pH at 7.0. Now that my basic problem is maintaining a CL level SEEMS to be under control, should pH stay around 7 or the more normal typically recommended of 7.4 -7.6?

Hi Mike,

In post #7 in this thread Ben advised to drop pH to 7 using muriatic acid. His goal, if I understand it correctly, was to avoid further scaling since your calcium hardness was very high.

I just looked at the numbers you posted in your chemical chart. The FC and CC look great! Yes, it makes sense to have CC = 0. That's the entire point of it! Good work. Unfortunately, there were no test results for alk (TA) and CH. Ben was hoping to be able to determine why your CH is so high. Until he can look at this thread again and refresh his memory it would be best to keep the pH low. One of the mods will make sure Ben takes a look at this and advises you further.

I have reposted additional testing stats as requested to include TA & CH. When testing for CH, titration to change sample from red to blue. Mine is really kind of purple more so than blue, but blue after sitting for a few minutes. Additionally the sample seems to have something that appears to not totally dissolve and I'm wondering of my chemicals are ok or is what I am seeing "normal"

Thanks Mike. Chlorine looks good. Ben may have some comments about the TA and CH.
