Hey everyone. I'm a relatively new pool owner. Made a spur of the moment decision middle of last summer and got above ground pool. No idea what i was doing but pool was pretty good using pool store chemicals and basic testing strips. I realized quickly that the pump/filter that came with pool wasn't strong enough and upgraded at the end of last season. I have been reading the forums here for a few months now with great interest and got my taylor k 2006 kit last week and have switched to the tfp method. My first testing revealed following:
FC - 9.5
CC - 0
pH - 7.4
TA - 150
CH - 130
CYA - 90
First off, should i even worry about calcium hardness with my pool type? Second, with cya higher than i want it (i stopped using shock and stabilized chlorine tablets last week), how long before this degrades on its own? I plan to keep FC at about 10 for now. Thanks for any advice u guys can give.
