Yea! Summer is finally here and we opened our pool on Monday, May 31st. The water looked clean and clear with just a minimum of winter dirt, etc. on the bottom to be vacuumed up! Only problem was I didn't have all my test supplies as I had run out of my CYA reageant R-0013 last year and had to order more.
So, until I received all my testing supplies, I just added some bleach (182 oz. on Monday and another 182 oz. last night). I got my CYA reageant today and tested the pool water. Following are my results:
FC: 0.5
CC: 0.5
TC: 1.0
pH: 7.5
TA: 70
CH: 70
CYA: 0
Temp: 82
The pool water is still very clear, but it is obviously not holding chlorine. My TA and CH are low and I have no reading for CYA.
I would really appreciate someone helping me to bring my test numbers to normal. I tried reading what I need to do, but it's sounding a bit complicated to me. Maybe I'm just not looking at the right articles! I seemed to have forgotten all I learned last year :?
Thanks for any help!
