I ordered at Taylor kit, but I'm still waiting on that. Since I don't have the patience to wait, I bought a cheaper 6 way kit at Wal-mart.
I was/am concerned about CYA because we have a frog installed and you've all told me that it can raise the CYA.
So, the directions say "add cloudy mixture until the black dot just disappears". I'm not quite clear on that. Does that mean add the mixture until you just start to not be able to see the black dot. Or does it mean add it until you can't see the black dot at all.
This doesn't seem to be a very accurate way to test. I hope the Taylor is more clear.
FWIW - I added the liquid until I could just barely see the black dot and I was at 100. So, am I right that CYA is high?
I need to go back to a pool store and get a real reading.
