I ran out of CYA testing solution so I took a sample to the pool store down the street. I got the following numbers:
1500 TDS (total dissolved solids)
CYA 33
FC 8.5
PH 7.4
ALK 118
Hardness 88
So what's this TDS? Never heard of it before. She said in hot tubs they usually tell people to replace the water at 1800, so I'm still okay for now. I have noticed the pool tastes funny since I've started using acid to lower the PH and I have been fighting cloudiness since I overflooded the filter with DE, but I'm wondering if my cloudiness may have something to do with this number. Any thoughts?
Thanks
