Ok, I got my TFT 1000 yesterday and got the following result FC 3 CC. 5 TC 3.5 TA 500 CH 110 CYA 20 PH. 7.2
Questions are do I need to amend the water or is it safe to cover and close? Temp is 68 degrees thanks for helping- Melinda

I hope you have the CH and TA numbers switched or that the TA is wrong.
If the TA is correct I'd try to get that down a good bit before you close.
The only other thing I'd do is raise the FC to 10 ppm right before covering it.

Thanks Dave, I retested and it was bad math. TA is 50. So I will bring FC up to shock level according to CYA leve and let circulate for a couple hours and close.
