I got my new TFtest kit today. Bought the heavy duty XL edition. Opened pool on Memorial day weekend to a green monster. Hit it with 6 lb shock and it boiled up nice with dead stuff on the top. Got water tested at pool store and had these numbers
FC=.5
TC=1
CC=.5
pH=8.9 yikes
Hardness=160 ppm
Alkalinity=280 ppm yikes
Cya=10
Salt = 2510
temp=81
Added three bags of salt, 4 lbs stabilizer and set to super chlorinate.
Tested today with my new chemistry set and things looked like this
FC=1
CC= not tested
TC=1
pH=above 8.2 yikes again
TA=320+
CYA=55
temp=88
Pump bit the bullet today so no circulation. New one tomorrow and I will get another store test while I am there to see if my numbers are close..
Clearing up nice but still a little cloudy with some debris on bottom. After new pump will vacuum tomorrow. Slowly but surely getting it there. Thanks for all the help. TOM
