The postman delivered my K-2006C kit today and it came padded out with Sweet Tarts (for my wife... from Indianapolis!) and Reese's cups (for me!).
Having a family mail-forwarder is great!
So I finally got to play with it all and a test this evening yielded the following results:
FC 5.4 (SWG running 8 hours at 50%)
CC 0.2
pH 7.6
TA 90
CH 90 (fill water is 80)
CYA 33 (I knew it would be low, but not zero like the last pool store test I had done!)
Salt (recently bought test strips) 1700 (Pool store that uses Taylor a drop test) 4200
My salt strips do not seem to work very well, the little band at the top doesn't go dark, well only in the middle, and the result after 15 minutes is no where near where it should be. I guess that means they are bad?
So I think my first issue is the CH, then the CYA, then reducing the time/percentage of the SWG a touch.
The pool is covered at the moment with a solar cover, in the height of summer it will be uncovered to let the heat out, right now it's on to try and get some in! High FC probably not doing that any good, according to the manufacturer who recommends no higher than 2-3!)
