Hi All,
I received my test kit yesterday and broke it in today. These are my results:
pH:7.5
FC:4
CC:0
CYA:40
TC:0
TA: 80 (this one was a little confusing. It said it was supposed to be red but continued to be a hot pink and not change colors after adding ~25 more drops. I assume the hot pink is the correct color?
Here are my questions:
1) Is the TA color correct (never changed to true red)?
2) Does pH have to be 7.2 to slam?
3) It said maintain chlorine level around the clock, so do I add chlorine during the day if it goes low?
4) I calculated with my FC and CYA that my slam level is 16, when I plug it into pool math it says it is outside my recommended range. Is this the wrong target?
I think I updated my settings, but if not, I have a 24' above ground pool (15,000 gallons) with a sand filter. we have had it 1 year. My pool is currently teal green.
Thanks All! Lil
