Hey everyone, just installed a 21x52 deluxe 8000. Cartridge filter, 1.5hp 2 speed pump, Taylor DPS test kit... So my initial readings
0 FC
7.4 ph
90 TA
0 CC
0 CYA
So after my initial shock ( 100oz) my chlorine disappeared basically immediately. I raised the CC to 200ish.. Put in a trich tab and I'm still getting nothing on my FC.. Did some research and realized my CYA of zero could be causing this.. What is odd to me is when I tested cholorine in the AM before work and got zero I forgot to pour out my sample and put it back in the case.. When I went to test after work I took the tube out and was showing like 5ppm FC from my morning sample.. Poured that out and tested again and got zero.. Basically why when I do initial test get zero but 8 hours later same exact sample reads 5 or so ppm? I'm currently got a tube sock with 2ibs CYA in front of my return assuming my initial reading is the accurate one and I'm losing all my chlorine.. I'll stop the trich tabs as soon as my CYA gets up then go to bleach, just wanted to no if I'm doing this right
