    Understanding differences betwen CYA 60 vs CYA 70

    60 5 7-9 24 70* 5 8-10 28 In both cases the minimum FC is 5. Can someone explain the difference in target level that is mentioned? 7-9 vs 8-10 If the pool is losing say 3ppm per day, at both CYA levels we would be targetting 8 or 8.5 right? So what is the actual difference here...

    Is it worth switching to variable speed pump?

    Refills for FAS-DPD test

    Newbie here working on learning to manage the pool. We have the TF-100 test kit. Running low on FAS-DPD reagents due to high CYA and frequent testing. Is this the same as the one that comes with the kit? https://www.amazon.com/Taylor-Replacement-Reagent-FAS-DPD-Refill/dp/B00QRI2UCA
