Hi Guys!
Had a pool for not too long now and still trying to figure out proper chemical/cleaning procedures. My calcium hardness and CYA was way too high so I ended up draining 70% of the pool. The CYA was reporting a little bit above 100 and the Calcium hardness was reporting somewhere around 500.
After draining the pool aboput 70% and taking it to the pool store for testing again the results are:
TA: 140
PH: 7.7
CH 268
FC: 0
CYA: 132
I don't get it. It's like the CYA went up. I recall it being lower then when i drained the pool. Maybe the CYA was just so high that the test kit couldn't read it properly and I really just needed to drain the whole pool?
- - - Updated - - -
Also, it sounds like i should be using liquid bleach (bought from the grocery store) to prevent the CYA from getting any higher?
