Ok. Here are some numbers. I hope I'm doing this right....
This was around 6pm
FC- 6
CC- 1.5
pH- 8.2 < (this was much more pink than the chart)
TA- 80
CH- the color never changed from pink. I think I added 30 drops of the R0012 with no color change before I gave up. I did the test twice with the same result.
CYA- 0 (the water never changed any color. stayed completely clear during the test.)
I hung a sock with 2lbs of CYA in front of the return. The sock emptied in about 20 minutes :lol: . I think I should have used some of the wife's hose, but don't want to get her riled up.
I have vacuumed the bottom and will hit it again in the morning as well as brushing the walls. I just added 96 oz of bleach before calling it a night.
I will post some more numbers in the morning.
Thanks everybody for the help.
