    Default Re: Alkalinity?

    I added a whole box of borax Wed & Thurs. Tonight the numbers look good:

    TC = 3
    pH = 7.2
    Alk = 140
    Temp = 58

    So the alk is holding steady and pH is safe. Other than a lot of tree seeds in the pool it looks good. We'll clean the seeds up this weekend.

    Should I try to get the alk down a little lower?
    What is a good level to keep the Cl?

    I see in your first post that you say your cya is 40. If that is still the case, a cl level between 3-6 is your target. Alk is fine at 140. Leave it alone. At this point, I think you're good to go. Time to enjoy your pool! Glad we could help.
