When I plugged it in, I got 12L. It seems like your result was off by a factor of 10. Is there a stray decimal point somewhere?
Yes, just found it myself. Had an extra 0 in the pool volume. Decimals never were my strong point.Smykowski said:When I plugged it in, I got 12L. It seems like your result was off by a factor of 10. Is there a stray decimal point somewhere?

How about a comma or extra period?
However I tested while the water was still cloudy, which I understand can give false readings. Tested again today, clear water (maybe not quite totally clear as I had just been cleaning it) and the reading is 60. Done with back to sun and container at waist height. I think that is the correct way to do it.OliveGrove said:oops, made a mistake on the CYA. Used half pool half tap water so result should have been doubled . Still, 80 is a lot more manageable than over 140 A few backwashes should sort that.
OK, will start by only adding about 5kg of dichlor (it's a big pool) and measure CYA again tomorrow. Don't think the Italians are into cyanuric acid here, they just through dichlor/trichlor or the newer 4 in 1 or even 5 in 1, then empty and start again when things go wrong.If you have no other source of cyanuric acid you can use your previous supply, just be careful to stop at target levels.
BTW, I purchased my Simpool from http://www.aqua.it/ (it measures pH and automatically injects muriatic acid into the pool)
