Hi, I'm a new pool owner. We went with a 24' round above ground salt water system. Every time I test the chlorine, it's showing off the charts. I ordered the TF-100 and did the test today and when I test the chlorine, it is showing orange instead of turning yellow. The SWG has been at 100% since we bought it, probably been a month and I didn't realize until I did a test that it was so high. I'm guessing I should just turn the SWG to off and let it run a few days like that to get it down? I ran it on 30% yesterday and half day today until I turned it off when the test kit arrived. Here are the other #'s I got:
FC 1.85
CC 0
TC (just add those 2?) 1.85
TA 90
CH 250
CYA 50
Chlorine looks orange when testing
ph seems around the 7.5 mark with TF-100 and 7.2 when I use the pill looking kit that came with the pool
