How are my numbers looking?

[poolnovice1]

With my TFT-100 kit:

CYA: 35-40
Chlorine: 6
CC: 0
CH: 450
TA: 80
PH: 7.4

Also, I also got a water sample tested at Leslie's. Here's what they came up with:

CYA: 40
Chlorine: 6
CC: 0.70
CH: 270
TA: 70
PH: 7.4

I double checked my CH because it was so off from Leslie's. I came up with 475 the second time.

Leslie's CC reading is so wrong! Every water sample I've taken to them has had >0.5 CC. My chlorine level has never dropped below the target range in months. The guy tried to sell me Fresh N Clear (Potassium Monopersulfate) to clear up the CC and also some Leslie's Alkalinity Up because my TA was "too low."

Your TA is *fine* and they just want to sell you something. For future reference if *ever* you wanted to lift your TA up, baking soda is the ingredient in Alkalinity Up. 100% Baking Soda at 3x the price of a big bag at Costco or Walmart. Laughable, huh?
