Okay, that leads me to this question. Which tests are initial color change and which are until no further color change? Screened enclosure.

Currently the pump runs 10 hours (9am-7pm) daily and the cell is set to 60%. Today I took a water sample to the local pool store, just to see where they would be number wise compared to what I have been getting so far. Pool Store 8/20 TC 8 FC 8 CC 0 pH 7.5 TA 60 CH 275 CYA 0 Salt 3000 TDS 4300...

It'll be easy. Ran my first tests the other day. What?? I logged it but, it is all out of whack. Did the...

I am so happy to have found this forum. I now have a pool to maintain. Our pool person of 6+ years is moving to another state. He has been taking care of this pool since the previous home owner as well. So, long story short I am the new pool person. I think I have all the info in my signature...
