Had always used Aquacheck test strips, bought the TF-100 kit to get a comparison. Both show high CYA levels. Is the only solution here draining part of the pool water and refill? I hope not, because that is a hack of a lot of water!
TF-100 kit shows:
FC = 2 ppm
CC = 0 ppm
CH = 250
TA = 70
CYA = 80
My dip and read test strips show:
FC = 3
CC = .5
CH = 250-ish
TA = 80-ish
CYA= somewhere around 100
Yes, there has always been a Hayward inline chlorinator hooked up. Aren't there any tabs to put in there that do not raise CYA over time? Adding bleach daily seems to be impractical. What do you folks do for pool chlorine levels if you go away on a week long vacation? I kind of look at the upcoming weather and either dial up or dial down the chlorinator. I was gone for the past 8 days, came home today and the above readings are where it is at. Before I left, everything was identical except I had 5ppm FC
TIA,
Jim
