I think my numbers are getting better - pool really looks great.. (see results - any comments?)
re: CYA test -- when you look down into the test tube, it says that black dot should "dissappear" .. Are they saying it must be totally GONE? what if there is a vague outline still? Reason I ask is that my figure comes to CYA=60 ! I have not added any CYA to the pool and removed the "puck" about 5 days ago ... The black dot is totaly invisible at 60 ... but is very very faded out at about 40 ...
results:
TC = 3.5 (I just added 98oz bleach to try to get this up some more)
FC = 3.5 (making progress - this was at 1.0 on 7/12)
CC = 0.0
PH = 7.4 - 7.5
TA = 120
CYA = 60 !!
CH = 280 (this is down from 300 on7/12/2012)
CSI = 0.03
pool temp = 86
