hey guys. so many have been helping me with my closing this winter. i thank you all for this!
becky from test kits wanted me to post this question.
i have been using the ph pen they sell. i noticed the other day that the pen ph was .4 off what i figured so i did the drop test. it was. so it got me thinking temp is playing a roll in this. i mean when u calibrate it you need the buffers to be a certain temp. becky did say yes this pen does not compensate for temp so my thinking was correct.
so now i'm thinking. i did some research here but a lot of the threads are old.
1. when water is below 60 degrees. are my FC powder drop test and ph drop test from test kit valid at pool low temp if done right out of pool?
2. TA and CH does temp of water matter for those tests from kit?
3. what about CYA?
i just want to make sure my numbers are valid cause i'm very worried about my ph and csi this winter when closed since plaster is new and it is still rising kinda quick.
thanks!
and again thanks to all helping me with my closing questions and worries!
