If there is such a thing. My Cya got up to 80 and my son had a rager of a 4 of July with 6 couples who were in and out of the pool day and night over the whole holiday weekend. I was there but did not realize the bather load would drop FC so much.
Nothing too tragic but I got to the house last Friday I had some small deposits of algae in the corners and when I swept I saw some trailing dust. So up to 31 on the FC I went. Kept it there for 5 days before I passed the over night chlorine test. I don’t live at the house and it’s 50 miles away so I get up early check FC and boost. Return after work and check and add and all week I’ve lived the Pool. Yesterday the FC was stabile , the pool was clear and I’m letting the FC settle to the 11-12 range. I am hoping it falls to that level by Friday so I can balance the other chemicals and have good chemistry for the weekend. Now I’m nervous I’ll loose it next week if I don’t get me CYA down this weekend.
I’ll be pumping and filling and I just wish we had a CYA drop test. I never feel confident I’m getting this turbidity test right. Especially if it’s not sunny. And how can we put a man on the moon but not have a product to convert excess CYA in an inert liquid ?
Btw shout out to Nate at TF test kits for suggesting the larger size FC test dropper. Great idea. I used a ton this week.
I’m compiling some questions on SWG that I’ll post and I really need to stop my analysis paralysis and get this done.
Have a good night.
