I'm wanting to know if anyone knows if the Boraxo soap I added to my pool could be causing a high CYA reading. I added 1lb 8oz to my 9'x18'x52" pool (fresh fill), and when I checked my reading today after the sock was empty I got a value of 70 or maybe 60 if I really strained to see the dot.
My test strips show somewhere between 0-30/50 for sure, but the Taylor test is very cloudy. I got concerned so I took a sample to the pool store as a second check and they tested with the machine and got 59, and with the taylor kit and got the same inconclusive ~70.
Any ideas?
