new pool owner trying to balance swg pool

[mwsmith2]

I cannot imagine anyone needing 25# of soda ash

You're getting the 100 and 200 confused

3lb (smallest they had) of balance pak 200 to put in 1 lb to adjust ph, and 25 lb balance pak 100 to raise alkalinity.

So they wanted her to put in 1# of 200 (soda ash) and 25# of 100 (baking soda). Easy to get confuzzled with all those darn numbers flying about!
