Hi all,
A couple of weeks ago I had a thread going about getting my SWG properly configured after having just converted to saltwater. The TF-100 test kit was recommended and I ordered it immediately. I went out of town for a while and got back this last Friday 11/9. I took a set of readings and this is what I came up with:
FC-11
CC-0
pH-8.2
TA-190
CH-470
CYA-70
I know that chlorine readings are sketchy with high pH, so I've been working on getting that down. I also turned off the SWG to allow the chlorine level to drop. My pH is now 7.8, I'm still working to get it down to 7.2. I think my pool may be bigger than I think, as the recommended MA treatments don't do near what is predicted... The interesting thing is that I did another drop test on the chlorine level today (Monday 11/12), after 3 days of running with the SWG off, and it is still 11! I'm in Arizona, so the pool is definitely seeing the sun, although we haven't been swimming in a while. Is this just a coincidence from the pH coming down and affecting the test results, or is there something weird going on? I conducted the drop test twice both times and got the same results.
Thanks!
And PS - The TF-100 is awesome!
