Hi Earl. Actually, I would re-check CYA in about 24-48 hours. We've done some extensive testing here and found that it records much faster than previously believed. So whatever you programmed for (i.e 70 ppm for SWG pool), you can just about bet it will be there by tomorrow or close to it. But still, don't add any more until a few days later. Good strong FC level for now, and increasing pH to the mid 7s should serve you well. Looks like you're in good shape. Have a nice weekend.

Well, that will teach me to hibernate over the winter. Is it okay to recheck CYA after 48 hours? That's cool.

IF it is all dissolved and the pump has had some time to mix it all up good.

My part of the "experiment" was to let the sock sit for about 15 mins to get the powder wet. I then squeezed until it was all dissolved. I let the pump run for 30 mins then tested and it test at the lever I aimed for!
