My water temp is 55 degrees. I read a post but cant find it about the CYA test and water temp. Not a noob pool owner, new to site/forums. Have been studying pool school and forums last 3-4 days and my re-education is a steep curve right now. Maybe my 60 year old brain is a bit overwhelmed..... I just don't think I am getting accurate reading. Here are last test #s
FC = 0.5
CC= 0.5
PH= 7.0
TA= 100
CH=125
CYA= >100
When I do the test I lose the dot before it ever reaches the 100 mark, there's a 1.8ml line on the tube and I lose it there. In addition when I opened/uncovered my pool I needed to add about 20% of fresh water via my hose, city water, to the pool due to displacement. That's typical for my pool. I want to be sure about test results before using the calculator to treat, or SLAM the pool, and get an idea of how many gals of chlorine or soda ash I need to be ready for all the steps. Pool does not have debris, brushing done every other day right now until I start the process. I don't get a lot of biologicals in the pool but it is pollen season, so there is that. Pool is clear, no cloudiness to my trained eyes, I've owned this pool for 18 years, and have been accused of being overly critical of its cleanliness, but its really crystal right now, and that's after just 3 gallons of bleach and 10lbs of ash. I hope this info I've provided helps with the answer.
