So Some of you have read and helped me get my Hot tub up and running... I am very appreciative of that.
Now I finally have my TF test kit in and have some interested results.
FC is 5-6 ish. either way, im fine with it
CYA is 80 - according to the chart you want 70-80 in a pool, but apparently that should be 30-40 in a hot tub? is that accurate? What should my CYA be in my hot tub?
PH is 7.8 according to the digital meter... So ill adjust that down... However i am not at all familiar with the digital PH meter... Will it need to be calibrated? or should it show up ok... 7.8 seems about where My test was the other day (liquid test) hoping i dont have to calibrate, because its confusing as heck as how to do that haha.
Salinity - 3200ppm however when I first filled my tub i put in 9lb which should have been 2400ppm according to my chart. Ive actually added probably 40 gallons or so to the tub after that and its still higher than it should be. Are there any chemicals im adding that would drastically raise the salinity?
Obviously with the CYA higher (if you guys agree) and the salinity out of whack, it seems like I need to drain at least 150g of the 450 g tub.
Any other info I should know here?
thanks
