Hey all,
Just getting started on the TFP method. I picked up the complete test kit from Leslie's (Taylor product, not sure of correlating Taylor number.)
Started today with a CYA test and found it was at 75. Per the app this is high. In the past I had been using chlorine pucks along with liquid chlorine and using strips to give it a best guess. I saw on a search (and an article here I believe) that the chlorine pucks can increase CYA over time.
After CYA I figured I would test pH before I took any other actions. The pH was low, to the point that 10 drops of the Base demand reagent still did not get me to 7.0.
Since this was my first-day testing, I was planning on doing another test tomorrow to confirm. If I get the same results I am looking for some guidance and help if anyone has it.
My pool is inground, with a vinyl liner and about 24000 gallons.
Happy to give more information and looking forward to any help you all have!
