Test result help

[Bbp]

According to my TF100 test kit I am within spec. At least I think
CH 300
TA 110
CYA 60
CL 2
PH 7.8

Pool Pal app says
Add 145 FL Oz bleach
Add 23 FL Oz muriatic
Lower Ph to 7-7.2
Add 264 lbs salt

Swg reads 3300
Salt test strip shows 2600

Any advice is appreciated
Thanks

Your minimum FC is 4. [FC/CYA][/FC/CYA] If SWG is happy, ignore test strips. I'd consider a Taylor K-1766 drop based salt test kit.

Thanks, so add nothing and enjoy? Water looks good

I think he said bring the chlorine up to a minimum of four. Personally I keep mine on the high side of my cya range.

Did you do the FAS-DPD chlorine test or just the yellow OTO?

You should certainly bump the FC up to about 6ppm with bleach to have margin. And lower the pH when it gets any higher.

Just the yellow. I'll add bleach and get the FC up. I'll read up on lowering PH.

Second season with the pool, still learning.

Thanks

I suggest you do the FAS-DPD to get a better FC and CC reading. Lower pH with muriatic acid.

128oz of bleach added. Will have to go get muriatic acid tomorrow.

Just a callout: in a pool your size, 128 oz. of 8.25% bleach will only get you 2.4 FC. Assuming you're still at 2.0, that only gets you to 4.4, so you'd likely want to add more today to stay above your minimum of 4... obviously the SWCG will add to that, but I'd personally err on the higher side as someone else mentioned.

Thanks, will pick up more bleach today too.
