Hello everyone,
I just found this site a couple days ago while trying to figure out how to care for my pool. On the advice of this forum, I ordered the Taylor K-2006 kit and just got the test done today. Here are the results of the test.
PH 7.4
CyA is non existent, the black dot never disappeared
CH 340
TA 120
FC 2 ppm
CC 5 ppm
Im not sure where to go from here, so any help would be well received.
I had been using just some test strips that the previous owner left here, It looked like there was no FC so I added shock on 3 separate occasions and put in a chlorine puck floater. still not noticing a FC rise, I dumped in a jug of Clorox. There were some brown spots on the bottom of the pool that I falsely identified as rust spotting, it was actually organic stains from the trees. To correct it I wrongly used a metal remover and backwashed the filter according to the instructions. I added back 12 quarts of DE filter material that was left by the previous owner. Now, Im here to learn how to do it correctly. I'm glad I found this site as soon as I did.
