After a brief 3 person swim, I ran my numbers and here's what I got:
FC 2.5
CC 0
pH 7.6
TA 100
CH 150
I test FC and pH daily. My FC usually drops 3-4ppm a day. I try to keep my target at 7 (CYA tested 60 a few weeks ago.) So I'm adding roughly 2 quarts a day. My pool is in full sun but I thought I wouldn't be adding so much daily. 8 cups a day just seems like a lot to me. Is this pretty normal?
Also, how often do I need to test CYA? I'm asking because of the amount of water evaporation and new water added every few days (and we haven't even hit the high temps yet My water temp is 81 right now and the sun hasn't been out for 2 days.
Thanks!
