I finally bought my own testing kit (and will most likely order from here next season)...
I tested my water and got this:
pH - 7.4 (for three days already---it was supposedly 7.6 on Sun 6-4 when the pool store tested my water)
FC= 5
TC= 5
CC=0 (cause TC-FC=CC ???)
Alk - 100
CYA came back at 80 (I took my water to a "pool store" on Sun 6-4) and they said it was at 53 So could it have possibly gone up that much in three days? I let (am letting) the 2 pucks that were in the floater totally dissolve and now I am going to start to use bleach...... they wanted me to originally add 4 3" tabs to the floater PER WEEK---(YIKES!!!!! Glad I found this site!!!)
We have not been in the pool for days cause of the weather ----rain and then too cool)
Should I be worrying about my testing results for CYA and is my chlorine level too high?
Is there a thread with the numbers range for pool H2O on the site cause I did a search and couldn't find it?????
Thanks to you all, you have been such a big help!!!!!!
