Looking to be a TFP convert. Not sure I can convert if I haven't been pool stored yet, but I'm looking to start my pool journey trouble free so here I am. I purchased the Taylor K2005 test and a supplemental FAS DPD test to go along with it. Our pool was opened a little over a month ago professionally, and the pool went from an algae infested monster to clear and swimming in about 36 hours.
First chemical test with the Taylor kit came back today. Here are results:
FC - 2.5
CC - 0 (I think, it didn't change colors at all)
pH - 7.4
TA - 90
CH - 230
CYA - >100 (see pic below)
All I've used are chlorine Tabs so far. It's been nice and clear since the pool guy opened the pool. I skim it, I use our robot, I empty the pump/skimmer baskets, etc.
So, what now? I have a Menards close for liquid chlorine, but what else should be on my shopping list? I have a picture of my current arsenal attached. Look forward to getting schooled.
Edited to add - This is not a new pool, this is a new house for my family, so the pools been here a bit. Previous owner left all the goods in the buckets from my pic in the attachment for me.
