Hey all,
Just got my TF-100 test kit (with speed stir ) and I tried my hand with all the tests.
I'm happy to say that I love this kit, and I feel like I can really trust and reproduce the results!
The CYA test though, that one seems really "subjective" to me and I was having a hard time with it. I found that as I did the test, I'm squinting into the bottom of the tube and thinking to myself man, I can still see that dot! I don't know if it's maybe because I did it indoors under a decent amount of light as opposed to outdoors "with my back to the sun."
Anyhow, I was reading about 20-30 CYA, and since I had leaned on the pool store this whole time up to now, they were telling me my CYA was in the 50-60 range. I think I'm just gonna go ahead and believe their numbers until I can do this test a little better.
Do you guys have any tips for performing that particular test, or is there perhaps another product that measures CYA really well?
Thanks!
