Test results a couple days ago:
FC - 2.5
CC -5
pH - 7.6
TA - 200
CH - 310
CYA - 35
Test results this morning:
FC - 0
CC or TC - 0
TA - 185
pH -7.8
CYA - 0
It has rained a lot here recently; the pool was too full and was losing a little bit through the skimmer, but is that enough to lose all the CYA? That doesn't make sense to me. I'm using the Taylor K-2006 test kit.
We put a half gallon of liquid chlorine in yesterday and ran pump before swimming. I feel like I should have the hang of this by now, still feel like I don't know what I'm doing with the pool, and spending a lot of time testing/adding chemicals, buying more, etc. I'm down to the second bottle of CYA reagent that came with the kit.
Are there certain things we'll need to do automatically after large rains?
1st step? Should I start with CYA and add enough to get up to 40? I was nervous about getting too high.
Thank you for your time.
