It is amazing when testing chlorine now, the K1000 or another kit like that makes me second guess exactly what color it is, so I go back and use the T100 and feel that the chlorine measurement is more accurate that way. Does anyone else do this?Is there a test in the T100 (other than in the K1000 box)? It just seems that the drop tests are more accurate than trying to distinguish tiny differences in color, and I am not color blind!
Anyway, it looks like after adding muriatic acid and making sure not to aerate (after reading chem geek's post) that the PH is actually higher, I tested it with two different test kits I have, this morning's results are:
FC 3
CC .5
TC 3.5
PH 7.8
TA 150
How often should I test calcium?
I will test CYA after 5-7 days.
Is there anything else I sould I be testing for?
I will add muriactic acid to lower PH to 7 to try and bring TA down further.
Let me know if there is anything else I should be doing. Thanks a million to everyone. :-D
