This will be my third year as a pool owner. The last two years I did chemical updates blindly based on what the pool store suggested. I had lots of problems (not all due to the chemical makeup) so this year I'm learning more before just following along. I've not yet picked up the suggested test kit (waiting for a trip to the US as the prices in Canada are stupid!). So below are the results the pool store provided me.
I have a question about the suggested CYA. the pool store suggests between 30 - 150 and TFP suggests between 60 - 80. This, at least to the newbe like me, appears to be a big discrepancy.
Not to question the wisdom of the folks behind TFP, but just trying to understand, why would there be such a large difference?
And the second question, should I now bring up the CYA to about 70 then bring FC to the target of 5?
FC: 2.46
TC: 2.79
CC: .33
PH: 7.7
TH: 216
TA (with stabilizer correction): 100
CYA: 25
Copper: 0
Iron: 0
Borate:0
Salt: 2800
Temp: ~75
