Help! Newbie! Pool guy left us and now we know we can do this on our own with the help of this amazing online pool help community! Thank you in advance!

Test results this a.m. 25,000 salt water gunite pool. Im getting the hang of testing with the Taylor2006 kit. Tested 3 times this week. Pool opened on Tuesday. Brushed, Vacuumed and backwashed 3 times. Pool looks perfectly clear. Unfortunately, when pool was opened Hayward Sense and Dispense probes not working, so salt cell not up and going yet, Probes and unit will be replaced on Tuesday. Then everything should be running properly, fingers crossed. So hoping to get CYA UP AND CA HARDNESS TOO.

Over all not too shabby.
Are you using 25ml sample for your FC to measure 4.6ppm? If you use a 10ml sample each drop is 0.5 and good enough for testing. This will save you a lot of reagent.
Do you test for CC? If so, include that in your test results. You may need to activate that in the settings part of PM app.
You also should let the PM app calculate CSI - you have to activate that as well as well as temperature as CSI uses that to calculate CSI.
How did you get a salt test of 3078. Do you use the Taylor test reagents as they only measure in 200ppm increments.
Keep up the good work.
