so my first week with my test kit has been interesting.....
FC 7.5
CC .5
PH 7.7
TA 150
CH 50
CYA 40
pool store had tested my CYA a week ago and found 60, but i tested 3 times and twice it was exactly 40, and water temp was in the high 60's. so i'm assuming pool store was wrong, which seems to be typical around here.
so, i started with adding 34 oz of 96% pure CYA stabilizer granules yesterday. if my math is right, that should put me around CYA 55. it would also prove my pool volume is accurate. so my 2 stupid questions:
- when they say wait a week to test again, can i go ahead and test again if the sock is empty? (i dumped it in a sock in the skimmer)
- and by sock i literally mean athletic sock, so let me know if that was wrong
thanks, as always!
