Hello!
This will be our 4th summer with our pool. We have always followed the step by step instructions of our pool store (which we visited regularly) but after spending tons of money last year we gave up and didn’t swim once last summer. This year we have decided to really take the time to learn how to manage our pool and have just done our first test using the TF-100 kit.
The results are
Chlorine 1?
PH 7.8
FC 3.5
CC 2
TC 5.5
CH 125
TA 50
CYA 20? (We emptied the entire bottle and could still see the dot clearly)
After the trouble we had last summer we didn’t cover the pool and it was a disaster. We couldn’t see what all was in the bottom so we just decided to drain most of it, used a pond vac to suck the muck out of the bottom, and refilled it with clean water just today. It’s a bit cloudy but not green.
I used the pool math app and entered our test numbers but wasn’t clear on the order and timing of the additions we need to make. Any guidance would be much appreciated!
