Here are my initial test results a few weeks ago after start up with my old test kit given to me by the builder. I dont know the company name of the drops.
CH=275 CYA=80-90 FC=4.0 CC=0 PH= 7.4-7.5 ALK=140-150
Water is 70 degrees
New readings today with the old test kit
PH 7.6 CL 4.0 (as far as the kit can test) TA 90 CYA 80 CH 275
I bought a new test kit from Leslies. Its a DPD test kit using Taylor brand drops. Heres the readings
PH 7.4 TA 120 Ch 300 FC 5.0 (as far as the kit goes) CC 0 TC 5.0+ CYA 80 CH 300
Water temp 75
Which kit should I trust ? Numbers look OK? The TA is way off between the 2 kits not sure which to trust at this point. SWC coming this week.
