Hello,
I have read alot of posts before I finally decided to post my results.
I bought the Taylor K-2006C, with all the fancy testing solutions and followed the instructions to the "T" and my results seem some what off
Chlorine 2.2 PPM
PH 8.2
Alkalinity 180 ppm
Calcium Hardness 330 ppm
CYA 120 - 140 ppm (kinda hard to tell since it wasnt close to the readings on the test)
So after I took my readings down I went to Leslies Pool Supply and got my water tested and these were their results:
Chlorine 3ppm
Salt 4200
Calcium Hardness 200
Cyanuric Acid 60
Total Alkalinity 130
PH 8
Acid Demand 1
Copper 0
Iron 0
Phosphates 400
Temperature 85
So now Im totally confused between the two, who's readings do I trust? Do I trust mine that was fresh out of the pool? or do I trust Leslie's because the guy looked like a total pro doing the water test and had 15 minute old water?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!!
-Thanks
