This thread follows on from a previous I posted where I was "slightly" worried about over chlorination.
Just got a Poollab and its results are worrying - I know my pool water is over chlorinated as my poolman screwed it up when he winterised it (long story).
So my pool lab reads as follows - I have had to use 50% distilled water on all but CYA to get these results as they were otherwise out of range:
PH 17
FC 16
Total Chlorine even with distilled water out of range.
Alk 205
CYA 80
4 different brands of test strips however give me something altogether more acceptable heres the average but they are each within tolerance:
PH 7.8
FC 10
Total Chlorine 8
Alk 120
CYN 100
I also have Poolsense which I have not really used got working at end of season last year it reports:
PH 4.72
ORP 1153 mV
I am struggling to find a shop to do a test for me to corroborate these results (they all blame covid!).
And the decent test kits dont seem available in the UK.
Any advice ?
