With the education I've received on this forum I've taken control of my pool chemistry. Bought the Taylor 2006k kit and love it! But I was in a store right beside Leslie's today so decided to let them test my water to see how close (or far off) they might be. Wow, results below-
Test My results Leslie's
pH 7.4. 7.4. Got that right!
FC. 12.5. 3
CH. 160. 720
CYA. 100. 50
TA. 80. 120
PhospHates. Don't test. 500
I know my numbers are right. I've been regularly testing every day or two for the past two weeks.
And of course they told me I needed to add their Phosfree product to get those really high phosphates down.
And partially drain my pool to get the CH down. Didn't tell them I did a full drain and refill in January. CH hasn't been above 200 since.
