My first test results

Just got my TF-100! I got and used the magnetic stirrer, too. This was my first go-around, so if anything looks really crazy, it's probably me

FC = 1.5
CC = 1
pH = 7.5
CH=400
TA=100
CYA = <20
Temp = 50°F

Things that catch my eyes are:
- FC is low & CC is a bit elevated; concern for algae trying to begin. Fortunately, the cold water is in your favor making algae hard to develop. Still you might consider doing an Overnight Chlorine Loss Test this evening. For the remainder of today, I'd increase the FC to about 5 right away.
- CYA is low. The black dot should disappear at 30. You can add stabilizer in 10 ppm increments using PoolMath to ensure it's at 30 minimum. Once you make it there, always keep the FC and CYA balanced as noted on the [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA]. That's an important tool for you.

Everything else is looking nice. Good work!

Be aware testing for CYA will not be accurate when water temp is at 50 degrees. Warm the water to room temp before testing for CYA.

Thanks, I'll try that.
