    Default Re: Some numbers .. Hardness ?

    Your numbers are near perfect (LSI is 0.01 and my improved CSI is -0.11) and for calcium (CH) and carbonate (TA adjusted with CYA) water balance you get a lot of leeway before you run into trouble (some cloudiness has been reported at CSI of +0.75 so that gives you an idea of how far out of balance you have to get to start seeing any problems).

    It is interesting that with your SWG system you are reporting a CC=TC-FC=0.6 since nearly everyone that has an SWG system reports CC=0 all the time. If you trust your test kit, you might want to try shocking your pool with extra liquid chlorine (or bleach), but it's hard to prioritize that against women and beer. You could probably just wait to see if your SWG gets the CC down to 0 (TC=FC) naturally.
