Greetings!
So after battling a CYA level that was off the charts (thank you Leslie's) we chose to drain and refill our pool; starting from scratch, using TFP guidelines. We just finished filling it up yesterday. We have the Taylor K-2006 test kit, and I began testing yesterday to get a "base-line" of where we are at.
So far this is what I have been able to test:
pH:7.4
CH: 280ppm
TA:140ppm
I obviously need to test FC and CYA when I get home today. I was curious; I purchased muriatic acid b/c I thought I may need it with the brand new water- do I? Or do I need to wait until I get the CYA level to determine?
Also, for TA- I see on the Recommended levels from TFP that we should be 70-90+... is 140 to high?
Thanks in advance!
