I’ve added 3 pounds dry acid . Now 3 doses @ 10 oz a piece Muriatic acid. I read pool school and it says not too chase the perfect ph. I understand that but I’m not sure if mine is in range . I’ve used 3 tests and will include all results.
Im mostly concerned about ph . But please give me your thoughts on ph or what mine actually is ? My friend works for a public pool and uses a lamotte color q. This is his results
Fc-4.6
Tc- 4.7
Ph- 6.8
Alkalinity 89
Ch 13
Cya 53
Next our my results using ft100 and the digital ph meter they sell
Digital ph -7.84
Fc-5
Cc-0
Tc-5
Ch-150
Ta-80
Cya-50
The numbers are not that far off except for calcium hardness and ph. My own conclusion is the chlorine reading using the daily tester kit is not accurate. The yellow is definitely darker than 5 which is what my R0871 proved it is . But both test I’ve used determined 5 and his was 4.6 which I’ll round too 5 . Judging by the dark yellow it seems the chlorine is much higher . The ph on this same test seems almost like an orange color. It’s hard to tell in the pic I think , but maybe it’s not. I’ve included that for you guys to take a look. So after all is said and done. What is my ph ?????
