Jim, just ran some tests and have the following: FC is at 20 ppm CC’s are none or zero (is this good?) TA is 120 CYA is 40 I spent some good time last month getting the CYA correct and now it’s back to low reading, what’s with that Thank you

Thanks Jim. I would use that liquid chlorine now or later when temps get lower? Will this not make my Cl Br readings even higher?

Saltwater pool. I have the full test kit, I will test and post full tests. Just didn’t think I needed to do full test this week. Been consistent until today

Hello, need some guidance on how to lower my CL BR after latest test. Always been high but today really dark reading. What do I do? Also, water temperature is at about 63 these days and dropping. When should I turn off SW cell and do chlorine tabs? First winter with pool being maintained. Last...
