Ordered TF-100

[mtucker]

Just got my TF-100 test kit today. Can't find how to test for Borates.Filling out the pool calculator and it is asking about borates. Am I missing something? Results are FC= 4.5ppm PH=6.8 TA =320-never turned red-More of a pink color CYA=0

Borates are optional and most folks do not add borates to the pool.
Also, the borate test is sold separately.

You need to get the pH up in the low to mid 7's ASAP using borax.

What is CC?

CC=0

You also might want to consider getting some CYA in your pool

 

[Butterfly]

Yep, after you get the pH up to 7.4ish, add enough CYA via sock method to get to about 30 PPM.

Note that the CYA may also drive your pH back down, so be ready to bump it up again. (assuming you use the solid CYA)
