Ok. Being new to all this, I am trying to understand. For 30 years, I have used the pucks, without many problems. Two years ago we had the liner replaced and refilled pool. Recently, My granddaughter complained of burning eyes, which began my journey to TFPC. I threw out the strips and got a Taylor 2005C kit, becoming a chemist! Still learning... So I took a sample to my local pool store to see if my numbers agreed with theirs. Here are the results:
Theirs- Their ideal???
CYA-151 30-200
TC -14.3 1-3
FC -13.9 1-3
pH - 7.6 7.4-7.6
TA -128 --
Adj TA-83 125-150 what is this?
TH- 90 175-225
Mine-
CYA-130(diluted test)
TC -15*
FC -15*
CC -0
pH -7.6
TA -150
CH -110, is this aka TH?
I noticed their values are different from what I have read on pool school and in the Taylor literature. I haven't come across adjusted TA. Should I be adjusting? Thank you for helping me!
* added chlorine to reach higher value due to high CYA. Will be doing a partial drain at seasons end-in about 2 weeks here in Central NY.
