I agree, the test numbers seem suspect to me also.How are you getting a FC of 2.3? That is not possible with the FAS-DPD chlorine test.

Excellent. I didn't see the following post. Hopefully you can get your CYA up to 30-40 and then get you SLAM going. Its gonna be tough for you to keep the FC level high enough without the CYA.
I had to do a SLAM this spring due to left over algae from last year. It is a process and may take a while to pass an OCLT but well worth it in the long run. My pool is the best it has ever been and the kids love it!
Good Luck
I try to use the 25ml its easier for me that way. I do see it mentioned here several times to double check my test kit. I did that this morning and it seems all the bottles either have a date ending 2018 and some 2019. could there be a possibility that the powders I use in the kits with the spoons be bad even if the dates are in 2018? and if so I guess I can get more of that somewhere from Taylor?
My opinion is now that you confirmed you were typing the results incorrectly and now verified that the expiration dates are good then you're in good shape with testing.I try to use the 25ml its easier for me that way.

Again your biggest issue is 1. No CYA and therefore the sun eats your chlorine at a very rapid rate.
Maybe I missed it but I understood it to just be a little cloudy at the 30 point which is the top end of the test. So for me I'd say somewhere between 0-30 and I dont recall him adding any cya. So yes I agree he doesn't want to go too.l far but it seems like it's way too low at this point.He did say earlier his CYA was at 30. I wouldn't want to go much higher until I completed a SLAM.
Yeah I think the cya test is a tough one to understand in some ways. Here's my best theory on it. I use the Taylor K-2006 kit.I do recall him saying cloudy now that you reminded me. I still struggle with the CYA test myself. I even bought the standard solution to help me learn to judge the black dot. I would think he could add 10-20ppm and stay in the 30-40ppm area.
Yeah all those other pool videos are irrelevant at this point. It's just a project in the works.I try to use the 25ml its easier for me that way.
