What to watch while waiting for tat test?

[Jinxed13]

After following everyone’s guidance with super high cya and little to no cl I decided to order the tft-100 kit and drain my pool last Friday 7-1. After refilling I used the last of my cya regent from previous kit and my results were
TC 1
PH 7.5
TA 150
CYA 35
Pool calculator said to add liquid chlorine and acid
On 7-4 I tested chlorine at 5 and at the end of the day I was at 2 so I added more lc
I’ve done a couple basic chlorine tests and added lc per pool calculator app and have been adding lc per recommendation

Still haven’t received my test kit since it’s expected to arrive next Tuesday so I’m not sure we’re to go while I wait.
Todays tests with what’s left of my hth 6 way show
Tc 3
Ph 8
TA 170
Ch 420


I dreadfully put my chlorine tab floater back in today since I’m going through 3/4 of a gallon a day of 10% lc

What should I be doing to keep my pool status quo until my test kit arrives?

Thanks for the all the assistance so far

since I’m going through 3/4 of a gallon a day of 10% lc

That would be a normal amount of FC per day with a lower CYA level.

That would be a normal amount of FC per day with a lower CYA level.

Last cya test post refill was 35.
I put 3 pucks In today to try and get more cl in since I’m using so much lc a day

Will this be ok until I can properly test and address ?

You will still need to add liquid chlorine to replenish the FC lost each day.

Tablets dissolve too slowly to see immediate results. Keep adding 3/4 gallon of 10% daily. That will increase FC by ~4 ppm which should be close to your daily loss. When you get you test kit and get a good CYA reading, consider raising CYA level to a higher recommended level to better protect FC from the sun (FC/CYA Levels). Tablets will add some CYA while you wait.
