I live in Arizona. Heat is really bad now. The last couple of days my FC has dropped. went down to .5. I ran my SWG 11 hours yesterday, same reading between .5 and 1. The only thig I have added to my pool is salt and CYA, I dont want a million chems in my pool. My brother wants to throw chlorine tablets in but I heard that's bad because it has CYA, and preservatives in it which i dont think i should have in my pool? Can I add liquid chlorine. Is that ok? here is the rest of my levels:
FC .5
PH 7.8
TA 120
CU .1
CYA,
SO my CYA Im having trouble reading it. the first week of install i put 1/2 gallon liquid into 4545 gallon intex ultra frame. the first reading using the TF-100 test it read low, like I got water level all the way to the top of the tube before the black dot started to get a little blurry. So I thought I was low? So I added a cup more and tested a week later and tested again. Now the tube it completely to the top and way too clear. I dont know whats going on but Im afraind to add more CYA. I think maybe I did something wrong. But according to the directions on the CYA I added the right amount the 1st tim=1/2 gal per 5000 gal pool.
