We got our Taylor kit this week and used it to test our existing hot tub (450 gallons). CYA was super high so we drained tub completely ( pool store had us using dichlor so now I know what NOT to do!). We used pool math and added stabilizer shooting for 40. Somehow we overshot and we need your advice. Here’s today’s results:
FC 5.5
pH 8.2
TA 250
CYA 80
Temp 101.

Should we drain hot tub? Or just increase the FC to the recommended levels?

Eeeks. :eek: You sure did go over a bit. Ha. :poke: You might consider exchanging about half the water which should bring the CYA down to a much more manageable level. Trying to manage the pH in the hot water with an elevated FC level to compensate for that high CYA might just be problematic.
