New testing today. Temperature is 60F.
CYA is probably only 10. Decided to gradually let CYA accumulate from pucks as it is winter.
CL=1
PH=7.8
FC=1.5
CC=0
Total Chlorine (TC)= 1.5+0=1.5
Calcium Hardness 250
TA=140
Any suggestions.
 
The pucks are going to only slowly dissolve in cold water. Given your current reading, winter sun and cold water, your pool should be fine. But I would not expect to see much of a CYA bump until the water warms up more.

Thanks....Pool calculator wanted me to put in 3 cups of muriatic acid to lower the PH....I only put in 2 cups. I also liked your CYA note, that because of cold weather I can let the pucks do its job in releasing slow CYA till after the winter. Will test the PH today again. Thanks a million.
