Hello all. Many thanks for all of the shared information on this site. Please pardon any posting mistakes that I may make - hopefully my sig shows the needed info on my pool. Water is crystal clear and I'm using a stenner pump for bleach injection.
My main goal is to get up to speed on my testing process before warmer weather arrives. The pool is three months old and pH / Alkalinity are holding fairly steady.
I have the TF100 kit as well as the Rainbow kit that came with the pool. I have pebblesheen and for warranty purposes I am required to use a store with computerized records. In order to assess the validity of the store results, I did my own tests and then took a sample to three different stores. No surprise - there is a fairly wide range of variance in the results and I would greatly value your collective feedback on the results and specifically your advice on Alkalinity as that is where even my tests vary.
The three stores I will refer to as stores W,T, and L. My results are all from TF100 as well as the rainbow for Alkalinity. Hopefully my attemp at a 'chart' will work. Many thanks in advance for any feedback / observations / reccomendations!!
------W--------T--------L--------TF100 / Rainbow
FC----4--------1.8-------2--------2
TC----4--------1.8-------2--------2
pH----7.6------7.2-------7.6------7.5
TA----55-------78-------100------60 / 90
CH----220------258------210------310
