    Proof that CYA matters and what UV does to free chlorine

    I thought this was pretty cool. It shows how the chlorine in our 40k gal pool is destroyed by UV during the day and then how I verify that there is nothing consuming the chlorine overnight with what's effectively an overnight free chlorine loss test. The points on the graph from Sutro tests...

    CYA measurement

    Happy Friday team! Question for those with TFP test kit. I measured my CYA and the dit disappears just when the tube is completely full. Would you call that 10? I added 2 gal of Natural Chemistry liquid stabilizer 3 days ago so if 1 gal raises 10K to 32ppm I figure mine should be at ~15. I'm...

I started at ~30-35 CYA last night and dropped to 7.2 pH and then hit 15 ppm with HADA liquid chlorine. Forgot to turn liquidator last night and it...

    Testing high chlorine concentration

    I have a HASA Liquidator and am trying to test the Cl ppm with TF-100. First test with heaping spoon of reagent wouldn't turn water pink so I added a little more and it turned brownish so I added more and got dark pink. Tried using the drops as instructed to titrate and it never would turn...
