Lab results,clear water.

Hi,

Just offering up my lab results for critique:

FC=.5
CC=.5
TC= 1
CYA=20
Salt=3200
PH=7.8

I know I need to raise my CYA and my Chlorine, feel free to let me know how.


Thanks

Raising CYA is easy. You just buy some stabilizer, pour it in a hole-less sock and tie it off and set it in the skimmer, or dangle it in front of a return or tie it off on something that floats. The sock in the skimmer is less work.

To raise the FC fast, get some bleach in there before algae gets a toehold.

Richard, every time I see that second pic I laugh a little inside. Ever see a product called truck nutz?

When you say lab tested, what do you mean? If you had to send the water away for analysis I would not trust the FC/CC/TC readings to be accurate. Too much time between sampling and testing. If you meant lab in the pool store, well I dont need to say more... If you have direct access to a local lab though then I assume your readings are good to go!
