Finally got a decent test kit (k2006), and here are my first set of results:
FC - 14.8
CC - 1.2
pH - 7.3
TA - 140
CYA - 60
The pH and TA agree with my previous kit (Pentair), and the CYA agrees with the pool store results. The chlorine is the main thing I've been worried about. Doing overnight test tonight. Brought pool up to 18 fc per the pool calculator for shock level. My water originally had a brown/yellowish tint and the pool store said I had iron present. I added metal magic and it cleared up perfectly one day, now it has a slight greenish tint, but no other evidence of algae. Until I have other suspicions, my plan is to shock until it clears the 3 hurdles. Any other thoughts?
