Troubleshooting:

  • Cloudy Water: Often caused by high pH or calcium hardness. Check your levels and adjust accordingly.
  • Algae Growth: Can be prevented by maintaining proper sanitizer levels and borate levels.
  • pH Instability: Usually due to low total alkalinity. Adjust TA to the recommended range.

Important Safety Information:

For optimal results and pool safety, it is recommended to add chemicals incrementally. Add a portion of the calculated amount, allow sufficient time for thorough mixing, and retest before adding more. Chemical densities may vary by manufacturer. Always follow manufacturer-specific guidelines and safety instructions.
