When I started following this forum I learned that I needed to raise CYA levels to keep chlorine from disappearing which was the issue I was having using the liquid chlorine we bought from Walmart. I used pool conditioner from Menards (can't remember the brand) to raise CYA levels and we are finishing up a small bucket of pucks before transitioning to bleach. The pool is now retaining some chlorine. I ordered the Taylor K2006 testing kit and ran all of the tests this morning. These are my results:
FC: 2
CC: .2
pH: 7.2
TA: 120
CH: 110
CYA: 45
Maybe I am not understanding the science. How can the TA be so high when the pH is 7.2? I just subscribed to the pool math app and it tells me to use acid to reduce pH to 7.2 then aerate to increase pH. What does that mean? I WILL absorb all of this information if it kills me! LOL
Thanks for any help in advance. I will check back when I get a chance, doing some running with my oldest today...
