Finally made time to use my test kit. My wife will probably kill me if she sees me using the kitchen island as my test lab.
CDT: 18 FC + 0 CC = 18 TC (not sure I did this correctly)
CHT: 1250 (I dunno, plaster pool still recovering from hard water)
TA: 160
CYA: 90
Ph: 7.5
The water is crystal clear now; it took about 2 weeks to get the green cloud to go away after drain & fill to the skimmer basket 3 times, and pulling all the water through the vacuum at the bottom to try to get rid of the dirt too. More dirt just blows back in - UGH! Nothing growing anywhere, filter cartridge stained and muddy, but otherwise normal. I can't seem to get the pool calculator to work.
Not a plug, but if you use cartridges get UNICEL! The last one I replaced still held its form when I decided it was finally way past time, and the "popular" brand at the pool stores that cost $20 more was garbage in half the time.
