I just ran all the tests with my new TF-100 and below are the results. I want to preface this with that fact I was pretty sure my chlorine would be low as I haven't added any in about a 2 weeks as I didn't want to keep throwing money down the drain if other things were off. Also, I use a solar copper floater which from reading here people aren't fans of copper. So I may need to quit using that.
CYA - 25 to 28 round up to 30?
TA 150 to 160
Calcium Harness Test - 500 ppm
Total Chlorine - .5
PH 8.2 *** this one surprised me the most as my strips say it is in the right range. Seeya strips!
FC - 1 ppm
CC - .5
So any thoughts on the steps I should take. I am going to address the PH with muratic acid tonight so I can get it into a range to add chlorine.
Also, I do have pucks but don't use them much (1 every other week or so) and shock with Leslies shock. I plan to move towards bleach soon but based on my low CYA do would you think it will hurt much to keep using the pucks until they run out?
Thanks for any help and great to be here!
