Thought some might get a kick out of this. I recently had to replace about 2/3 of my water (longer story, had a leak). Anyway, now I'm having to rebalance my water. I am pretty close, but I actaully had to go to the local pool store and get some calcium. For fun, I took a sample of water to have htem test it to see what they would get. Now, I have used them in the past and their results are not great anyway. They just opened, so maybe the equipment hasnt been calibrated. It's LaMotte system if anybody is interested. This is what I got with my kit vs their's.
Taylor Pool store
FC 15 (I'm shocking) >4
TA 80 7
pH 7.2 (Measured before
shock) 7.4
CYA 40 0
CH 20 0
I was most suprised by the TA number they gave me (CYA too, really). I'd hate to be a person that actually relied on their numbers to balance the water
Edit: this didnt format correctly. The second number is the pool store, the 1st is my Taylor kit
