Ok experts I need assistance again now that my Taylor Test Kit has arrived and just like a kid a christmas I can't wait to play with it!
After watching the videos at the taylor web site about my kit I decided it was time to test my skill. Here are my results based upon the few test that I attempted.
Test # 1 9/12/14 at 7:30 PM
Water Temp 82 degrees F
CYA-0 (which doesnt surprise me as I have yet to add anything other than 8.25% Bleach while filling)
FC-0 (using the 25 ml sample I added the 2 dippers of R-0870) sample didn't change colors so I stopped there.
PH Test (Using the 44 ml mark I added the 5 drops of R-0004, inverted to mix, matched sample to 7.0-7.2) Due to low PH value I did the Base Demand test using above sample and added 2 drops of R-0006 and acheived a range of 7.2-7.4.
Plugged my numbers into poolmath formula and if I understand the program correctly it suggest adding the following:
52 oz of 8.25 bleach
31/29 oz of borax (weight/volume)
46/48 oz of stabilizer
Does that all sound correct? if so, as I stated above I purchased a 3 lb bottle of granular stablizer made by aqua chem however it doesn't list the active ingredients. Is it safe to assume that it is cyanuric acid?
