Alkalinity vs adjusted alkalinity?

[jcaj558]

When using the Pool Math calculator should I be entering the alkalinity adjusted for cya or the unadjusted alkalinity?

You'll need to let us know how you're getting the numbers, as in: pool store results or test kit results (and which test kit). Something to put in your signature, along with all your pool and equipment spec's (hint, hint)... Come on, you've been here a while, you know the drill...

Fwiw - I don’t use adjusted alkalinity - I don’t think anyone here does- its a poolstore thing..
Recommended Levels
Are based on true total alkalinity.
If you’re cya is in line w/ tfp recommended levels - the adjustment shouldn’t be that large/matter that much anyway

I'm am so sorry. One too many threads this morning! It's all there. Just plug in the number you get from the Taylor kit.

My cya level is about 90 so should I be using adjusted or unadjusted?
