Hi gang,
I finally got my TF-100 kit and did my first set of tests. Can you tell me if I'm OK?
FC = 3.5
CC = 0
TC = 3.5
PH = 7.2
TA = 150
CH = 100
CYA = 50
Temp = 82F
The water is clear, but not "sparkly." I had been using TriChlor tabs since getting the pool in 2008 and stopped 2 weeks ago after finding this great site and was worried my CYA would be too high. Tested that twice to be sure.
No CC means I've killed all the algae and other biological junk, right?
Reading the instructions for the test kit I almost didn't do the calcium test because it said that's mainly for plaster/cement pools. I didn't expect any significant calcium reading and did it twice. Is 100 too high?
I'm going to go BBB once I exhaust the 12% shock liquid I have on hand. Any advice how much I should use to regularly dose or do I need to do an overnight FC loss test first?
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
