Test results (via TF100 kit)
FC: 2
CC:0
TA: 90
CH: 225
PH:7.5
CYA:<20*
Questions
1.) I read on this site that I should not add calcium (above ground). I started out with 0 and the pool store recommend that I add 25 pounds. I still have about 8 pounds left to add. Should I stop?
2.) My local pool store measured my CYA as 20. But I can fill the view tube completely and still see the black dot. Is the test sensitive to levels that low?
3.) I am using trichlor tablets with a feeder. I understand that this can cause my CYA to get too high. Should I try to keep my CYA low or should I add more now to hit the recommend level of 30 to 50?
Thanks in advance for all of your help. This site is great!
