Welcome to our forum.
I am bring TA down. Im at almost 4 cups acid now. I have a good test kit just like to compare readings with theirs once in a while.
I still have not decide to stay with Dichlor or try bleach yet. I had understood is still good to shock with MPS once in a while. I think I had been adding too much dichlor before figuring it was better to add to much than not enough but forgot about CYA. I will check readings more this time and try shocking a little less.
Excellent!Just remember, using Dichlor is slightly acidic, so if you continue to use it over time you'll need to raise your TA by adding Baking Soda. Just keep an eye on your pH, so you'll know if it gets too low (< 7.4).Keep us updated.
I am confused. How is TA of 50 excellent?
Checked this morning and ph was 7.5. Alls well. This was the easest I have ever balanced water. Took over 4 cups of acid but never got ph to low to hurt anything. Think I am going to go ahead and try Silken which will raise my ph again but should get it right back in again.
I like to get my chemicals from local dealer when possible. Silken (Sodium Teraborate Petahydrate 100% ) is the only thing that came up on search for Spa Guard Chemicals that said borates is why I thought about trying it but maybe I will just order Gental Spa on line.
