Re: Strange
Just ran another set of tests.
SWCG states 2700 PPM at 55 degrees
Strips state 3070 at 70 degrees (let the test water warm up)
Drop test states 5400 at 70 degrees. I used my Speed Stir and added one drop at a time, slowly, until the color changed from milky yellow to milky pink/salmon. No additional drops were added.
FAS/DPD FC test shows 2.5
ph 7.5
TA 70
CH 260
Borates 40
CYA 40
This was after running the pump and robot today for 2 hours. What amazes me is how wildly different the drop test is. I am somewhat inclined to believe the drop test, as it more closely fits what I've added, considering poolcalculator says it should take 50 bags to get to that amount, but I've only added 35. I say I am inclined to believe it because there may have already been salts in the pool from chlorine usage. But, that's sure a high reading.
Either way, I'm still confused. And not adding more salt for sure.
