Oh, that sucks then. It’s cheap for a lot of us. Where are you in NY ?
No algae but no chlorine reading. TC=0.31 ph=7.4 Alk=107 Calc=145 CA=101 Iron=0.1 Copper=0 Phos=4000

Long island ugh. It used to be cheaper but not anymore
Above ground 18x34x52 sand filter
CYA=95 is not optimal but has come down from draining and filling. Here are my current levels here at 6pm EST New York:
FC=3.21
pH-7.6
ALK-100
I know i have to keep the chlorine on the higher side bc of the high CYA. So my question is how much sod hypo 12% do i add each night to keep the levels where they need to be for the current situation? 3-5ppm ok? Dont wanna nuke the kids. temps here on LI will be 88-90 next two days. I want to stay in range.

Your range is now 11-13 and your minimum where algra grows is 8. FC/CYA Levels there are no inbetween #s, we round up.
guess ill keep draining and filling to get that CYA down. it goes down about 5ppm a week.
That maybe true, but remember that you can’t ‘see’ values between the 10s. It’s looks like you can, but you can’t.
If every other week it drops the full 10 then adjust your targets, but keep the targets in the higher bracket on the in-between week.
Thank you so much. I cant wait for everything to be in range so i can be at peace. lol. oh and it turns out my kit is the taylor test kit and i also have the taylor test for stabilizer. been using this kit for years, ive never used strips. I even have a fancy kit to test my fish tank water.That maybe true, but remember that you can’t ‘see’ values between the 10s. It’s looks like you can, but you can’t.
