I got my TF Test Kit today. My first run gave:
FC 5.5
CC 0
TC 5.5
PH 7.5
ALK 120
CH 210
CYA 48-52
I also have Taylor copper and iron tests and AquaChek salt strips:
Copper 0.15
Iron 0
Salt 3600
I am mostly happy with these levels, even if some of them are higher than my ideal goal. This leaves plenty of room for backwashing and splash out. I am a little concerned with the copper number because I am not sure where it is comming from. I suppose it is probably from the heating coil from the low PH when we bought the house, but I keep hoping there is another explanation. Our fill water tests at zero.
