Sounds good. Thanks!

My FC is coming down (finally at 9.5ppm) I was able to get a good pH test. With my additions of CYA to try and slowly raise it, my pH is sitting around 7.0-7.2. Should I add some borax to increase to 7.4ish and retest in a week?

Finally got around to testing and CH was 120 and TA was 200.

Thanks for the information. I'll grab a sample once this weather passes and give it a test.

Good info, thanks! Yes, agree swimming would be difficult in that temperature. It would be firing up the hot tub.

Appreciate the help. A few more questions. If the test comes back fine, do I leave SWG off until FC levels come down a bit? My variable speed pump runs 24 hours so I’d probably need to set at a very low level going forward in the winter. Also is the pool safe to use as is or do I need the FC...

Water looks crystal clear but this is my first pool and I guess I am not sure what to look for with Algae. But from what I can see, there isn't anything growing anywhere in the water.

Will definitely do the test tonight. I do have a water softener but the pool autofil isn't tied into it. The pool is also uncovered outside.

Thanks everyone. Added in all my details on siganture and profile.

Thanks and definitely appreciate the advice. I was defintely curious on the FC on this first test which is why I did the 0.2 but going forward I will stick with the 0.5 approach. I will retest TA and report back. Update: retested TA and it ended up being 50 instead of 40. I am going to look...

Good morning. I just completed my first test results with Taylor K-2006Salt kit. Here are my results: I believe it is recommeded to adjust TA first and looking at the pool math app it says to add 6lbs 7ozs of Baking Soda. Would it be best to add a little at a time and retest vs dumpming in...

Did you ever get this sorted out? I have the same equipment installed but I feel like my Aqualink isn't configured correctly to take advantage of both systems.
