Just confused........

You can swim in water with FC up to slam level, so don’t worry about your liner.

How did you get 55 CYA? That’s not a result you can get from the Taylor reagents. What test did you use? If it’s the Taylor one you round up to 60.

I use the Taylor but I also have a Color Q pro that will get more of a exact number on the CYA.

Always see if the Taylor agrees. My understanding is that the ColorQ has a rather wide margin of error on some of the tests.

ColorQ vs TF100

Well, in my search for results I can rely on, I went ahead and bought a TF100 kit and decided to do a side-by-side with the ColorQ. I'm spending a lot of money on this testing stuff, but it's obviously important. Once I get settled in, I'm good. Fascinating results and let me share them - all...

Yea I do. I use both of them. Taylor first but I always think the Taylor test is to subjective. So I use the Color Q afterwards and it's always really close to the Taylor but gives a exact number to go off.

 

[IceShadow]

So long as they’re close then I see no harm in it. I’d just hate for the ColorQ to be off and necessitate a drain because you ended up with too much CYA!

 

[Enkil810]

Can you really swim in water at Slam level? I always thought that was to high?

 

[IceShadow]

Water at SLAM level is less harsh when it comes to hypochlorous acid than public pools running at 1-2ppm FC and 0 CYA.

 

[Enkil810]

Well I be. Learned something new.

I have a colorQ the only test I am confident in is PH. I can do a series of tests 3 times in a row and get different results each time. Could be my reagents, I don’t know. I quit using it a long time ago and haven’t touched it in a few years.
