As you can see from the title, Chemistry is not my strongest subject
I recently purchased a home with an above ground 14,000 gallon oval pool.
I have read the pool solutions site fairly extensively, but being that its not my strongest subject, I am left a little confused.
I purchased the Taylor kit as the site recommended, and below are my read outs:
Free Chlorine = 5.6
Combined = 0
Ph = 7.2/7.3
Alkalinity = 90
Cyanuric Acid = 90
What do I need to do to lower/raise the above numbers?
Should I have combined chlorine, and if so what is a good number?
If I did my math right...
- I should be adding about 21.56 oz of sodium carbonate to raise my ph
- I should be adding 2 lbs baking soda to raise alkalinity to a safer amount of 100
But from what I've read, it seems that my CA is too high.
I really appreciate your help.
Its amazing that not only do the doctors give you the wrong information, the education system is changing history and providing the wrong information, and even down to the chemistry of our swimming pools is all propaganda for the large companies.
Thank you for having this site!
Frustrated,
Jenny
