Hello All: First test with new PS234 and I have some numbers that seem to be out side the target ranges. Not a surprise, as I have been battling a green algae problem that hopefully is under control.
Any suggestions on where I am and where I need to get to with these numbers would be greatly appreciated. Thanks..

test results:

FC 21 <-- did this twice to make sure
CC 0
TC 5+
pH 7.4
Alk 190
Cal 340
Cya 80
Temp 84

12,000 gals.
Diamond Brite finish
Hayward cartridge Filter
Kidney shaped
South Florida.

Assuming your water looks nice, I think your numbers are fine. With that CYA number, I'd let the Cl drift on down into a 5-10ppm range and keep it there as a maintenance level.

You might consider lower alkalinity down into the 80-120 range but I doubt your have a harmful situation. Good work! :)
