also if you take too long doing the test the sample will turn pink again one drop per second and as soon as it goes clear that is it, if you wait a few seconds it will go pink again

what is the ta and ch of your fill water

try to relax a little, pools are supposed to be fun your numbers are mary poppins, practically perfect in every way unfortunately because you had instances of low chlorine in the beginning, you most likely have the start of an algae bloom it starts with water losing the diamond sparkle, that...

with the cya test i fill the comparatot to 100 hold the comparator at waist level, back to the sun. i prefer 10am or 2pm have a quick glance 1-2 seconds, do not stare, if you see dot, then fill to 90 and repeat if you dont see dot at 100, dilute pool sample 50/50 with tap water, then retest and...

welcome whats up with your pool

imo managing a pool without a swg would be too much time lost imo a swg is a necessity 99% of problems attributed to a "salt" pool are caused by other factors only problem that is true is that you can taste the salt over around 3500ppm

when your TA gets below 80 then lower your PH to 7.8 the lower you take your PH the quicker it will rise my pool has stabilized at TA 40 and PH 7.8 maybe 1 or 2 cups of acid per year

the 65,000 litres may not be accurate either

i am thinking original test was actually 6,000ppm not 3,000ppm plus/minus testing error

i dont use the ccl test kit but would suggest that maybe the original test was incorrect

worry about that later

sounds good to me the only draw back to TFP clear is that you can see every spot on the floors and walls much clearer than slightly blurry water try to brush at least once per day

ph tests false high when fc is above 10 maintaining a high fc for a prolonged period can have a small lowering effect on cya, within the range of testing error brushing the algae can upset the clarity of the water looks good to me keep on, keeping on
