I'm going to continue my thread from last year (my first with a pool). Year 2 here we go.

This year getting ready to go. If you look through the notes for last year you will see super high CYA. I drained and filled for 3 days and about 8 hours this year guessing around 18000 gallons.

Took my first full set of numbers and am concerned about the TA level. Here you go.

FC 7
CC 0
TC 7
PH 7.6
TA 60 **
CH 110
CYA something <30
Temp 64 deg F

From the Balance scale in my K-2006 it seems I'm way negative on my balance. Should I be concerned? If so what are the steps to correctly adjust. I'm planning on burning off the CL (Targeting 4) and will bring my CYA up to around 35 and raise temp to around 82 deg.

Fill water is City Tap.

For reference I was burning through around 1 large 6% bottle a day last year. Chemicals will be almost free this year in comparison .
