    Default Saturation Index (SI), SWG, and Above Ground Pools

    I have a 16x33 AG pool with deep end to 6 feet. Volume about 14,000 gallons. I have a Pool Pilot Digital with a SC48 Cell.

    Current readings:
    Temp: 80F
    PH: 7.2
    TA: 60
    CH: 60
    CYA: 30
    Salt: 3200
    FC: 4.5 - 5.0
    CC: 0.5

    TDS: ???

    With a vinyl liner, I have never concerned myself with CH levels and only maintain TA to stabilize my PH. With my new SWCG, do I need to be concerned with maintaining a proper Saturation Index to preserve my SWG Cell?

    With the above readings, my SI must be around a -1.5 (goal being 0.0 +/- 0.3). By the book, this makes my water more (much more) corrosive.

    Should I focus on raising my CH, TA, both... or not worry as I have a vinyl liner?

    Thanks - Bob
