Hey Gang, Just wanted to get a second set of eyes on my first TF-100 test. Prior, I have used strips and the pool store both of which I have learned are useless.
Above Ground Vinyl Liner Pool - 27' round, 4' deep = ~17000 gallons
Manual chlorine. Prior, I have used pucks and shock both of which I have learned here can cause CYA issues. I am now stocked with liquid chlorine ;-)
Today's results:
FC - 4.0
CC - .5
PH - 7.5
TA - 210
CH - 275
CYA - 90
My interpretation is that I have several issues. Please correct me if I am wrong.
For my CYA, my FC should be up around 7-12? Add liquid chlorine?
CC is a little high. What to do here?
TA is really high! The Pool Math app says to add acid but it doesnt say what kind or how much.
I am getting mixed messages on the CYA. The pool store said up to 200 is fine. I doubt that is true but everything I have read on Pool School says really low like 30 or 40. Then, I have seen some people post here saying they run pretty consistently at 100. I am in WI and I am able to drain part of the pool if I have to but I would rather not go through the hassle. Also, I saw there is a product called Bio-Active but I dont see anything about it here. Is it legit?
Thanks in advance. I tried to provide all the necessary info and I've read a lot of the articles on the site. Just dont want to screw things up worse than they are! ;-)
