Newbie pool chemist here. I bought the TF100 kit and obtained the following readings:
FC - 8.5
CC - 1.5
TC - 10
TA - 130
CYA - 30
PH - 7.8
I'm currently battling a pesky green algae problem that appears every few days or so, especially if I skip brushing for a few days. I'm concerned because I'm going away for 7 days and don't want to come back to a nightmare.
According to the pool calculator, http://www.troublefreepool.com/calc.html, when I plug in a current CYA level of 30 and a target of 50 I'm presented with a recommended dosage of 4lbs of stablizer. Does this seem correct? I don't want to over do it and then have to drain water. I know my TA is high too and taking measures to bring that down.
Thanks.
