I got my TF-100 today (insanely fast shipping Dave!)
This is my first test so I could have screwed up:
ph: 7.3
FC: 3.5
CC= no color change, 0.0?
TC= 3.5
TA= 160
CYA= 20
CH= 300
My water is a little cloudy and isn't as "sparkly" as it was before. I backwashed my filter and it looked pretty gross. Could that have caused my cloudy water or do I need to shock? I will admit that I have been trying to maintain it with a store bought test kit until I got my TF-100, and I have trouble telling the difference between the color graduations. My last TC reading from the pool store was almost zilch, but I have since added a lot of bleach per the pool calculator.
Just want to stay on top of it.
