Hello everyone,
New pool owner. Just received my TF100 and upon testing I noticed the large variance in reading through the site tube for CYA. Tested several times with three sets of eyeballs. I can still make the dot out to around 60 to 70 ish. My wife and son can’t see it as you approach 90. Now I have super vision and can spot nails in the road with enough time to avoid them so… Obviously, this test has room for error and I know that my levels are high (used pucks during last season before I found this site) but at what level should I go with?
When adding liquid chlorine I used 90 CYA since that was the point where I had to start focusing and was the point my family could not see it. Will be checking for cl2 residual loss in the A.M. to see if I need to SLAM but I don’t think I will have to since I haven’t added any before today cl2 in 8days and it only dropped 4ppm. I did have algae problems before closing last year so I’m going to make sure I’m on top of it before this season begins.
Thanks
