I finally got my test kit yesterday (who knew that FedEx delivered on Saturday?) and here's what I measured this morning before church:

FC = 4
CC = 0
TC = 4
pH = 7.2
Alk = 110
Cal = 180
Cya = 0
Temp = 83 F

Yeah, I know, my Cya is not where it needs to be, but I completed a Bac2Cl conversion just last week. My test strips show that I have some Cya, which rather surprises me (not really, I know they're called "guess" strips for a reason). My little black dot didn't disappear at all this morning, so I guess it's off to the pool store tomorrow!

Anything else seem off?

I have a 28' diameter 52" high vinyl liner AGP with a 300# sand filter. The water is absolutely crystal clear. After years of bacqacil, I forgot the water could look that good, but that's another post!

Thanks! Doug

Doug,

It's good you went to Church because those numbers look to me like divine intervention!:D Perfect!:)

Lowe's/HD/Walmart all usually carry CYA (stabilizer) with dosage instructions on the container if they're more convenient than the pool store.

Happy Swimming!:)
