Hello all, got a Taylor 100 test kit as recommended by the forum. Been using it about a week now, the only test that is hard for me is the CYA test. It's hard to see exactly when the black dot becomes clear. But that's not my question. These are the numbers I came up with with the test kit. The sample was taken 1 ft below the surface and tested within 5 minutes. I ran the tests indoors. The pool is an above ground 12X24 with 7000 gallons. Hayward sand filter. The water condition is slightly hazy toward the bottom.
FC=5
CC=1
PH=7.5
Hardness=375
TA=130
CYA=85
Borate=30
Took the same sample to the pool store to see what they came up with. They use a computerized analysis (brand unknown) and here's their results.
FC=1.74
CC=.58
PH=7.3
Hardness=136
TA=98
CYA=28
Copper/Iron=0ppm
Borate=60
So my question is this: That normal to be that far apart? The only close one is the PH. Thanks for your help and suggestions.
