Hello. I have just opened my pool for the first time (purchased home with existing pool)
I have had water circulating for 48 hours and done 2 water tests using Taylor 2006c with nearly identical results so pretty sure it's all accurate.
After all the reading I've done I expected levels to be low and would just use pool math to adjust it up... Didn't account for it starting to high.
Here are the numbers. Since high CYA requires higher FC, is it possible these levels are fine and hopefully CYA drops if only use liquid chlorine (previous owner used trichlor tabs)
FC : 9
CYA : 140? See Attachment.
PH : 7.1
TA : 130
CH : 150
I'd rather not drain and re add water if possible.
Thanks for any suggestions or help.
What is the actual impact on water if both CYA and FC are high but "balanced"? Is it harder on skin?
