Going to see where 4 lbs puts me. I'll re test in a day or two or should I wait a week as advised by tft?
First "real" numbers with TF-100 Kit

I would wait a week because 4# gets you close and putting more in is easy, removing... not so much.
Indeed.
Hopefully the TFP method works out for me, because going back to what's considered 'normal' means removing a whole bunch of water to get CYA back down.
What does that mean? Nothing we are recommending is likely out of line with what your SWG paperwork states (besides their low FC numbers). Most SWG manufacturers recommend a CYA of 60-80ppm. So I am not sure what you are referring to as "normal"
When I select "Traditional pool" in poolmath with SWG, the range is 30-80. That's what I meant by "normal", being that I'm at 30 now I thought that was typical for a SWG pool using whatever 'normal' methods/ranges people use to care for their pools. (I didn't build my pool and the previous owner was paying someone to maintain it so I assumed some of the parameters I tested that generally don't fluctuate like CYA were 'normal')?
That's what I'm doing now. But As I said "Traditional" lists 30 upward. Which to me seems like a "normal" level and the TFP methods are maybe elevated a bit.. but as you said still in an acceptable range.
Yes, and as I stated my pool was maintained by a pool guy before I bought it. So I'd expect to see more "traditional" numbers which is why I thought 30 was normal (which it is) and that 70-80 for a SWG TFP was out of the 'normal' range (which it's actually not).
