Ok, got my kit and was finally able to do a test. I've been adding Clorox for the past couple of days now at a rate of about 1.5 jugs (182oz jugs) per night. On my 'stick' test (not worth junk) That was showing chlorine in the pool each night at somewhere around a 10. So here's the full set of numbers
FC .4 (this was taken at the very end of the day before adding chlorine for the night)
CC .6
PH 7.0
TA 170
CH 70
CYA insane - using the Taylor kit it was covered at about the 1.8ml marking. The stick test was showing it at about 150. I like that the Leslie's guys never bothered to point out to me that this was a problem. I'm well aware of the need to replace the water, my schedule just hasn't allowed. I am set to swap out about 1/3 of the water next Thursday.
So other than the CYA problem, I can see with the CC it still must have a little something in the water. The water IS clear now, and at least I have some sort of PH thanks to no longer pumping in tabs and shock. Other than a shock until the OCLT shows I'm clear and changing out the water for the CYA, is there anything I'm missing.
