    I took a moment to appreciate what we created.

    Today’s results are: FC: 2.5 PH: 7.2 TA: 90 CH: 280 CYA: 50 CSI: -0.53 Temp: 68* Added 52oz chlorine and hesitant to touch anything else with my TA high. I can aerate the pool more to increase pH if needed but the app says to keep at 7.0-7.2 due to TA being out of ideal range. We have...

    I’m getting there this morning! My CSI is in range at -0.26 now. I have a few more tests to run for TA and CYA but at what point do I call it quits for the day? I know the chemistry in the pool is fluid but I want to get it to a good point. There will be days I am not home to work this all day...

    That was me jumping in after I realized I could have gotten a bigger kit. It wasn’t OP.

    Thank you! Because I recorded TA at 125 I believe I threw off the other numbers.

    I tested Monday and correct results were 50 TA, added a little water yesterday along with MA and chlorine. Today I tested at 30. Monday was 5 drops before the sample turned from green to red. Today it took 3 drops.

    I added MA yesterday. I went back and checked my handwritten notes and I miscalculated heavily by multiplying by the 25. Learning curve issue. I was at 50.

    Thanks for the heads up! It’s a rainy day today (not sure if that matters) and I filled a bit yesterday. Pool is at 30 now with target set at 70. The app says to add 6lbs. Do you suggest less for now?

    I added all but the stabalizer yesterday. Turns out I actually had 0 so I’m trying to get to 30 now. I added liquid just now and brushed away and have the granual on hand as well to make it easier next time. It was a long stressful day of running out to grab supplies, testing, and adding chems...

    Worked on balancing the pool and scrubbing calcium buildup on the new pebble. :cry: Put out some of the new patio furniture we bought. Stressed about the balancing some more.
