I suggest you read SLAM Process three times and then follow it instead of making up your own steps.

Thanks for your input. I just read it and CYA. Should be done first. Everything else the same

Cya of 30. Every +10 also raises the FC target +4. The water needs to be mixed for 24 hours to trust the CYA at opening. And its probably not 0 so add 20 and see if that registers after mixing before adding another 10.

It works if you follow it step by step without shortcuts or improvisation.

Also, with water that greed that sat, I'd run an ammonia test before raising the CYA.

Never did that. How do you do that. There's no ammonia test on the Taylor K2006C

How do you do that.

Read the Ammonia article he linked above.
