    New start up test results

    The first thing I will do is to raise pH to the 7 range, then raise CYA at least to 30 eventually it will have to go to the 70-80 range but wait for some expert to comment on this... ? Obviously if this is a new pool, I will follow the pool builder instructions, bc he holds the warranty card

    what to treat first??

    Fix the pH first, lower it using Muriatic Acid, then use bleach to raise FC, please go to pool school to read about it and test for CYA, what test kit do you have?

    CYA Standard Test Pics - Which is the result?

    Thanks for answering, I was just interested in the pH test that use the R-004 and for the additional CYA scale, that's why I went for the #9058 block, I will continue to test FC with TF-100

    CYA Standard Test Pics - Which is the result?

    I have the Taylor R - 004 reagent for pH, but I don't have the corresponding comparator. Can I use the 9056 block to measure pH? Actually, the block comparator that I prefer is the 9058, the one with the CYA scale
