First time testing water with Leslie's DPT test kit

[coruna1]

Hi! Everyone, this is my first time testing the water with this kit, I notice the TA is very high, i don't know if i tested correctly. Water temperature is 82, water is crystal clear. pool size 10600 above ground. Using bleach.Here are the readings;

ph 7.4
cya 40ppm
TA 450ppm
FC 5
TC 5
TC 0

I need help understand this readings,

Thank you.

P.S My water has never looked this good until now

You should wipe the tip of the titration reagent bottle with a damp tissue and do the TA test again, wiping the tip every five to ten drops. Sometimes the dropper tip can build up a static charge that causes the drops to be smaller than they should be, which can cause very high, incorrect, readings.

A TA of 450 is very high and could lead to calcium scaling. Hopefully it is just a testing error.

Thanks Jason, I did that and is now 120.

So, with that resolved, it sure looks like your water tests to be perfect.

Water test -- check
Water clarity -- check
Sparklyness -- check (?)

That looks like a TroubleFree Pool!
