We opened our pool. We used Algecide and shocked it twice in the last few days but cannot get an free chlorine to register on our test strips. Should I be checking the cya? Thanks for any help.
Algaecide wastes your money. We don't shock a pool. We SLAM a pool. If you decide to read further, you will find the TFP method is all about precision testing, precision dosing and a result of crystal clear water all summer.
If you take the plunge with us, your eyes will be opened wide and your pool will never look the same.

+1 to ordering a TF100 from TFTestkits.net and taking charge of your pool. I've been buying my test kit there for 4 years now and maintaining my pool TFPC style.
CYA should be 30 and FC should be at target for your CYA, Chlorine CYA Chart
