Howdy y'all! So we're 2 weeks into our new pool and i've been doing all the maintence and water chemistry and things are looking good. I took a water sample to my local pool store just to see what they would say. I've done over two dozen tests with the TF-100 test kit as well as a pH meter and some test strips and I feel pretty confident about my results. The pool store's results where hit or miss compared to mine.
TF-100 Results today:
FC- 5
pH - 7.7
TA- 130
CH- 150
CYA - 60
Salt - 3100
Pool Store's results today:
FC - 10
pH- 7.7
TA- 100
CH - 100
CYA- 60
Salt - 2900
I've read elsewhere on this forum that pool store results are not always accurate, perhaps they aim to sell you stuff when in fact you don't really need it?
