I finally got my hands on a proper test kit (Taylor K-2006) and I was able to take proper measurements of my pool:
............FC (ppm).....CC (ppm)..........pH..............TA..............CH..............CyA
Test 1........ 6 .............. 3..............7.4.............150.............425.............~15
Test 2........ 6............... 0..............7.4.............140.............375..............~0
My tests were conducted with a few days difference. I keep my pool covered at all times, except when we use it and lately this has been infrequent (2-4 times a week or so). Even though I live in a very sunny country, keeping the pool covered for most of the day seems to be helping in maintaining my pool FC levels.
My CyA levels are very low, but my FC seems to be within limits. My SWG works well so believe I have reached a balance where FC is being generated and used in an even way (at least with the current use/covering of the pool)
So the question is: Do I need to add CyA, if i dont have an issue with the sun dissolving my FC?
Thanks
Andreas
