OK, so technically, this is the second test as the first one was done during pool school last Friday. Here are my results.....
FC=5ppm
TC=5ppm
Br=7ppm
Ph=8ppm
CH=240ppm
CyA=100ppm
TA=180ppm
Water temp was 67F at the time of the test. Both chlorine levels were on the high side, not sure if test results are accurate being a novice at this. I did put in about 2 quarts of muriatic acid as a result of the test. The test kit supplied by PB is a Taylor K-2005 and the little water balance calulating wheel said I have a Saturation index of approximately 1.3. But I couldn't find in the little booklet how to rectify that. I realize it is a possible precursor to cloudy water and/or deposit scale (according to the little wheel). By the way, this is a chlorine pool that uses the tri-chlor tablet chlorinating system (as of right now anyway).
Would the high SI explain the white stains on the stone work near the sheer descent waterfall and the spa spilloff?
Any comments, suggestions are very welcome. Thanks in advance...
