Got my TF test kit last night. In a former life I had to perform once-daily checks on boiler feed water so it was like the good old days... I did each test THREE times just to make sure I was doing it right, especially the CYA test.
My results:
FC 8
CC 0
TA 150-160 (15 to 16 drops)
CH 800-900 (This one is bothering me because the pool calculator says I could have scaling issues) (YES, 80 to 90 drops!!)
CYA 120 (this could be as high as maybe 150, no marks above 100 on little tube and it's not a linear scale anyway)
PH 7.6
Temp 92 degrees (aerators are not turned on)
I know CYA is too high and need to drain pool. But, I was going to hold until this fall because we are having pool replastered. Now, with both CYA and CH too high, and CH very high, should I just go ahead and drain the pool? Remember that water costs $$$ in Phoenix.
Pool is clear and bright.
