Hi everyone... I'm a new pool owner. I recently purchased a house with a pool and I have no idea what I am doing. I just received my K-2006 test kit but I am not sure if I am getting correct CYA numbers. Every other test were pretty consistent between my results, Leslie's pool, and the aquacheck strips. I'm not sure which results to use, mine or Leslie's.
Over the weekend, I went to the local Leslie's to test my water and here is what I got on 4/1:
FAC: 4
TAC: 4
CH: 300
CYA: 60
TA: 80
pH: 7.5
TDS: 1400
Pho: 100
Results with Aquacheck strips on 4/1:
TH: between 250-500
TC: between 5-10
FC: 5
pH: between 7.2-7.8
TA: 80
CYA: between 50-100
My own test results on 4/2 after adding roughly 170oz of 8.25% bleach on 4/1.
FC: 7.6
CC: .4
pH: 7.6
TA: 80
CH: 320
CYA: 120 1:1 diluted (Aqaucheck strips showed less than 100 CYA)
My results today 4/3:
FC: 5.5
CC: .5
pH: 7.5
TA: 80
CH: 330
CYA: 90
