Water temp

[Msch99]

Which tests are affected by water temps in the 55+ degree range?

Essentially, nothing. Always a good plan to allow your water sample to warm to room temperature but, in my experience, 55 degrees won't make much difference.

Which tests are affected by water temps in the 55+ degree range?

Taylor Technologies has run the pH, total alkalinity, calcium hardness, free chlorine, and cyanuric acid tests on known standard solutions at approximately 104°F, 75°F, 60°F, and 40°F. Only at 40°F did the CYA standard solution test higher than its actual value (after accounting for test variability). All other tests were unaffected by temperature differences.

The only thing I've notice temp sensitivity to is not a test but the calculated number for CSI changes dramatically with temp. Not a test though and surprisingly it's more negative with lower temperature. Sort of opposite to where I thought it would be... no idea why maybe lower temp water has more dissolved O2?

Thanks folks! Bummed out, first green pool since we bought it, started with TFP shortly after. Winter cover split, we didn't know it, and let leaves and junk in. Then had 70 & 80 degree days. Nearly cleared up now, but have some green areas on liner the robot doesn't get to. Brooms & Whale brush today to get what we can reach!

Family and friends are amazed at how sparkling the water is (last 2 years anyway) and how fast things can clear up when the right process is followed.

Appreciate all you folks do!
