Hi everyone,
I recently purchased a house with an above ground pool (~13k gallons). I'm trying to balance using liquid chlorine 10% and muriatic acid using the K2006 test kit. All I know about pool care is from looking through forums last night. below are my results.
After opening: BioGuard water analysis
FC- 0
CC-3.8
PH- 8.4
TA-200
TH- 155
CYA-130
I added 4 gallons liquid chlorine and 1 gallon muriatic acid (currently aerating).
Next day results: K2006
FC-5
CC-4
PH-7.2
TA-220?
CYA- ~120 (hard to tell but close to the 100 line)
I really don't want to drain the pool to fix the CYA. Can I operate it at this level? I plan to add 7 gallons liquid chlorine tonight to "shock". Am I on the right track?
Any advice is appreciated!
