Simple question - I did another full round of tests yday with the TF-100 and my CH, TA and CYA were on the low side (generally higher than 1 week ago when I tested and added some chems to adjust). Should I re-test in another week and then add another round of chems as needed? Or should I re-test sooner?
For yesterday's test results I did not add the full amount of chems to get to the suggested levels since the pool is new and would rather add the chems in phases.
FC - 5.5 (using 6% bleach to chlorinate, working very well thus far)
CC - 0
pH - 7.2 (dropped pH a little before increasing TA, will re-test this afternoon and adjust accordingly)
CH - 150 (this is low, was advised in another thread to get CH to 200 and then test monthly since the pool is new and CH should increase over time)
TA - 40 (this is low, added enough baking soda to get it to 55, will re-test and add more soon)
CYA - ~30 (this is low, but pool is new and got a lot of rain recently which I assume dropped CYA. Added enough to get CYA to 40, will re-test and add another round soon to get to 50)
Thanks!
