I can’t get ph up

The TF100 is only available from TFTestkits.net.

The Poolmaster does not test FC at all, only TC to 5ppm. The pH test is only good to 5 ppm. There is no CYA test. By the time you add the FAS-DPD, the CYA, and a proper pH test, it will cost more than the TF100.

Ordered the tf 100 from tftestkits. Accounting to the test strips my cya is going up but probably needs some more. All of it went through the socks and through the filter. Should I add more right away or wait 24 hours and test again. The tg 100 takes a few days to get here.

How much CYA have you added and what level are you targeting?

Was looking to get 30-50 ppm. I added 1.7 pounds originally but almost all of it got stuck in clogged filters. The second time I added 1.7 pounds and it has raised up a bit. Added through sock. Will check again tonight although I’m still on test strips Untill my test kit arrives.

Wait until you have a proper test kit to adjust any CYA readings.

According to neighbor’s test kit ph is finally where it should be. Alkalinity is good to. Cya is good. Chlorine is 4 ppm free. I’m slightly low on hardness but aside from that it all looks good.
