Before I got my kit I was going by Leslie's once a week recommendation, and now after my first test (only half way through the week) -
FC -0
CC - 0
CH - 400 (although I read it could be high when doing it by hand)
TA - went from blue to clear/purple at 110, pink at 120
CYA - I'd say exactly between 20 and 30 - 25?
pH - 7.8
I know cya should be 30, and adjusting that will bring my pH down also, right, so that first before slamming? Should I just be dumping a gallon of chlorine a day in the mean time, don't want the algae to get out of control.
Kind of surprised because I have one of those floaty things in there with the chlorine puck, but I know there is algae too.
Thanks for the help!
