Tds

[waterbear]

well, the lower your get your CYA by dilution the lower you will get your TDS so don't loose to much sleep over the TDS. You CAN run your pool with your current CYA levels by adjusting the FC and shock levels by the chart that I posted the thread to earlier...Ben's "Best Guess CYA chart" . That way you don't have to drain and dilute. Your decision. Should work fine either way.

FC: 5.0
CC: 0
TC:5.0
CYA: 65
TA: 120
CAL: 230

And you say a pH of 7.5. Numbers don't get much better than that. I'd try to run FC at 6 or 7 with that much CYA, but that's me.

I think TDS is total BS in real-world conditions. But it sounds impressive (like acid demand). With number like yours, and NO discernable problems, go swim and ignore TDS.
