OK, I will be closing my pool(hopefully this weekend), and trying to get up to shock level, but after two attempts and my chlroine disappearing, figured better get to testing!!! Anyway, the TF-100 kit is easy to use, and very nice. Here are my numbers and my thoughts. I had NO CYA, so added 6lbs of Cyanuric Acid 24 hours ago, and just retested.
FC - 6
CC - 1
TC - 7
PH - 7.4ish...
TA - 50
CH - 160
CYA - 20
Temp 65
Salt - 4000+
I am just trying to get the water "decent" for closing. I think I am getting close. I think I should add more CYA yet this year. All of the current chlorine is from SuperBoost mode on my Autopilot SWG Dig-60. I believe I had it calibrated wrong, as it kept telling me to add salt, and being a dummy and not testing, I did. I think that number will come down next year, as I will be draining some here soon to close for the winter. Any thoughts on adjusting any other numbers before closing, or should I not be concerned about any others at this point. The water is currently cloudy.
Thanks, Chuck
