My most recent set of test results from today using my TFT100 kit pH-8.2 FC-6 CC-0 TC-6 CH-500ppm TA-90 CYA-60 I have been trying to be so careful with our brand new pool. Why is my CH so high, and what can I do about it. Should I be worried about the TA level. Also, the CYA seems to have...

I feel like I am NOT getting the hang of this. Our brand new pool startup was about a week ago, we had no chemicals in the pool as the builder did not get us started with chemicals, and we did not know to ask them to. So we started from scratch ourselves and are really wanting to get a handle...

Thank you so much for your responses. I did go on and order a test kit from the tftestkits.net site provided last night. My question now is this: Do I just wait to test the water again until it comes, this week or next....or should I do something more with it this week? I can't wait to find...
