I tested my friend's water today with my Taylor2006 kit. The sample turn red rather than green for the TA level and cya is about 200. No FC at all.
Is she doing anything at all about this? Extremely low pH could be helping keep the algae at bay but then people are essentially swimming in vinegar, with the above result. No point working on the pH or TA yet though since she needs to drain well over half of her water to get back to a reasonable CYA level.poolmama67 said:The PH is really low and causing rashes (or what I think are burns) to the swimmers
If you can't, she's in for a "shock"!poolmama67 said:I hope I can talk her into a partial drain and refill
An initial red in the TA test means not only that the TA is zero (or negative), but that the pH is 4.5 or lower. Not only is some water replacement needed to reduce the CYA level, but the pH needs to be raised right away to prevent further damage of pool surfaces and equipment.poolmama67 said:I tested my friend's water today with my Taylor2006 kit.
