    Default A few questions about my numbers

    I started the conversion process 2 nights ago...been keeping my chlorine level at 10ppm. My numbers from this morning are as follows:

    FC 9
    CC 0.2
    PH 7.0
    TA 50
    CA ??? solution turned a light goldish color instead of red
    CYA 0 (haven't tested yet as I just added stabilizer Thursday night)

    My questions are why did my CA turn goldish/yellowish instead of red? Is it the high chlorine level interfering?

    My PH and TA both are low. What should I add first Borax or baking soda? How long do I wait between adding the two and do I add both directly to the skimmer?

    Lastly, my water was very clear last night when I went to bed. This morning it is still clear but a bit cloudy...I can barely see the bottom of the deep end.

    23,000 concete/plaster pool, sand filter

    Thanks for recommendations on what to do next.
