Hello
I visited my brother's house 2 days ago, and his pool is looking greenish. I asked how he tests, and he does his own testing. But, he never tests CYA for some reason - a mistake, I know.
So today, I went over, and he asked me to bring my tft test kit. Upon arrival, he told me that he shocked it in the morning, and he used the item in the picture. I assumed that testing ph would be useless if the chlorine is high. So, I tested his FC and CYA, and i got 3 for FC and 100 for CYA. His CYA might even be higher, but with the liquid at 100, I could not see the black dot at all. I asked if he added any stabilizer, and he did not; he has 2 pucks floating in a floater. His numbers left me dumbfounded, and I claimed to be an expert upon arrival; I could not tell him what to do. Obviously the contents of the bag raised CYA perhaps??? But his FC was at 3, which perhaps is his first issue.
I know that without the other numbers, it's hard to assess. But, what would you recommend??
He, and I thank you
