I just got back from having my water tested at Leslie's. Here's what they came up with:FAC 3I know the TDS and the CA don't mean anything to me since I'm not using salt and have a vinyl liner pool. However, the sales guy tried to tell me I needed to add 45 pounds of Hardness + to bring my CA up. I told him "I have a vinyl liner pool, so the calcium hardness doesn't really apply to my pool." He just kinda looked at me funny. I wanted to laugh so hard!
TAC 3
pH 7.3
TA 60
CA 50
CYA 30
TDS 100
So, I swung by the Commissary on my way home (yep, we're a military family) and picked up 4 more 4 pound boxes of Arm & Hammer to start adding to bring the TA up. I spent $1.80 per 4 pound box at the Commissary ($7.56 for all 4 boxes including my 5% service charge). Leslie's wanted 8.99 for a 5 pound bucket ($9.52 for each 5 pound bucket including tax).Man I love this forum! A lady at the Commissary said K-Mart had bleach on sale...I'll have to check that out tomorrow!
