I am using the Taylor 2006c test kit...
Pool was completed about two weeks ago and the filter/pump has been running for about a week now. The PB has put some chems in the pool but I am not sure what or how much. I do know there are a few pucks in the skimmers.
So i test the water today:
For chlorine I had to use 6 scoops of DPD powder to get the sample to barely turn pink I mean barely... Then I used 1 drop of reagent 871 for chlorine to get the sample to clear again. (prob could have used half a drop) Does this mean I don't have any chlorine in the pool? We have been swimming in the pool. Should I ad some Chlorine even though the pucks are still in the skimmers?
TA is 70
PH is 8.0+ need 1 pint of muriatic acid to lower ph according to chart
I think the CYA is non existent... I did the test, but the sample never got cloudy at all and I could see the black dot clearly the entire time, it never faded in the least.
I am so confused... The water is clear, but I feel like I am doing something wrong? Should I start putting stuff in the pool? Is there an order I should follow to adding chemicals?
Thanks
