Only got the HTH kit so far, (going to order a better one over the winter, for sure!) but here are the numbers I came up with so far:
FC 3.0
PH 7.2
TA 110-120 (Have to get a better feel for when it changes)
CH 150
I wanted to do the CYA, but it was getting ready to rain, again, so I didn't try it, since there's only enough to do it twice. I am guessing I can leave the TA where it is, since my PH is low, is that correct? My PH has been at 7.2 most of the summer, and the only time it went up was when I added Borax. I tested the TA of my tap water just for the heck of it, and it was 100. My chlorine seems to stay pretty even, no unusual large losses, and the water is pretty clear. I know it would be even clearer if I would get the sand filter, but planning on that over the winter, too. Since there's only about 5 weeks of swimming weather in PA, at most, I am going to wait to get it.
