My new pool has been filled and running for 5 weeks. We're currently using inline chlorinator, trichlor tablets, but plan to start using bleach.
Using TF-100:
FC 2.5
CC 0
pH 8.0
TA 130
CH 425-440 (Yikes. Tested twice...once with 25 ml sample; once with 10 mL sample)
CYA 25 (let sample warm to 68 degrees for this)
water temp 59 degrees
So I know what to do for chlorine and pH and TA, but I'm unsure about adjusting for CH and CYA. ThePoolCalculator reads for CH "replace 39% of water with new water," but after inserting 60 degree water temp, reads "no water replacement required." (yay!) So, can anyone give a brief explanation for this? CYA adjustment/recommendation is add a certain amount of stabilizer.
My water is beautifully clear, so I don't want to fix what ain't broken. I'm really just trying to get a feel for my pool and what it needs. Thanks.
