I first mentioned this in the thread CYA Surprise, where I had been misreading my Pentair CYA test and actually had a CYA of 140. I decided to leave it alone and drain half when I closed for the winter.
Today we did the testing, and my monthly test of CYA came back at 60 using the TF-100 kit method. While this is pleasant news, it also begs the question: where did 80 ppm CYA go? Sure, we've had some rain, but not enough to overflow and replace almost half the pool volume! Did it break down? User error? Tomorrow I'm testing side by side using both kits.
We Shall See.I
BTW: how long do you let the mixed solution sit before filling the final tube? The Pentair test has you let it develop for 2 minutes before reading.
