Hi Everyone
i have just finished the SLAM and ready to balance the water. I had trouble with determining the CYA with the SLAM and erred on the higher value. I'm retesting and get values between 50-80 and it's driving me mad. If I had to pick a number I would say 60 or 70. My FC is down to 6 so I feel it's close to algae problems and need to move forward.
My Taylorsk2006c test Results
13dec. 13dec. 12dec. 12dec. 11dec
4.30pm. 10.am. 6.00pm. 12.30pm. 5.00pm
FC. 6. 6.5. 7.5. 8.5. 9.5
CC. 0.5. 0. 0. 0. 0
TA. 60. 60. 70. - 50
CH - - 220. - -
pH. 7.4. 7.8. 7.6. 7.4. 7.4
CYA. - 60? - 60/70. -
phos 200ppb(aquacheck)
salt no test but assume approx 4000 will test tomorrow at pool shop.
Ihave been adding a kg of buffer each day to increase TA slowly.
Im brushing every day and filter on high setting for 8 hrs.Still having trouble finding the right ORP for SWG but may need to manually turn it on to generate FC as it hasn't kicked in the last 2 days hence the drop in FC as we have had sunny days.
I am reluctant to add any CYA to get to 70 as recommended for SWG as I want to be first certain of the CYA level I have now.
CYA level ???? So target FC???
Any advise from the experts?
Should I just bump up the FC say to 9-10 either with SWG or liq ch before I get into algae problem.
i will check tomorrow morning if FC has dropped and CC raised over night.
Thanks
