    Smile Best Guess Chart

    I can't seem to find Ben's best guess chemical level chart for the correct levels based on CYA etc.

    Any help would be great

    Nope. Every pool is different so what works for one that's at one end of "normal" might not work at all for another pool that (for one reason or another) likes things at the other end of "normal". Several of us have made up our own "charts" for our own pools by reading through the PoolSolutions web site and using various info from this forum. But no one has made a chart for all pools.

    Thanks Sherra,

    My water is clear so I will not over think it. Yet my Alk is very low so I will bring it up slowly w/ baking soda & test again as suggested here.

    Thanks Again
