Hello everyone:
I have had my pool for a couple of weeks now. I'm learning from the pool builder and have finished his instructions. He has been helpful. I have been reading faithfully this website as well. This website has provided me with so much information, and I appreciate all of you here.
Well, today I have tried out all of these tests in the TF 100 kit. I have only been testing using the little blue taylor box that tests total chlorine and ph here.
Here is my data today. I have a SWG that says 3000 now on the readings. My pool has 18,000 gallons.
However, I know I am off on a few things. My builder gave me some test strips, but I'm not wanting to use them. I want to learn using this TF 100 instead.
TC: 1 . 2
FC: 3
pH: 7.2
CC: Slightly pink
TA 24 x 100= 2400 . ( however this was just pink, not red). I kept going until 53 droplets, but it just got darker pink. Does it ever get red?
CYA: For this test tube, I always saw the black dot all the way up to the top...so I cannot get this reading...
Obviously, I am TERRIBLE at getting readings, and I hope to get better.
This am I put (in a sock tied to the pool) some cyanuric acid (from Home Depot---called pool stablizer)...since my ph was very low/nonexistent this am...) . I took it out a couple of hours later....
I really do not know what I am doing. My son says that he smells something, but I smell nothing. The robot Polaris is going around right now. What should I do?
