Here we go:
FC - 7.5
CC - 0
TC - 7.5
pH - 7.3 (it wasn't 7.2 but it wasn't 7.5 either) :rolleyes:
Alk - 90
CAL - 40
CYA - 50~60 (The dot got VERY difficult to see at 50, but could still very faintly see it. Definately could not see a little before the 60 line.)
Temp - 81
I've got more CYA than I thought!:confused: When Leslie's tested it on 4/2 they said I had a reading of 30 (if that was even accurate). I haven't added any CYA since then. And no, I haven't been using the pucks except for the very first 2 pucks the pool place put in when they got everything going right after it was filled in March (one puck in each skimmer). According to the BleachCalc I should have right around 40 for my CYA reading since I put 9 pounds in after the pool was filled. It's hard to belive a couple of pucks did that to my CYA reading! I stuck my pinky at my belly button and the bottom of the reading tube on top of my pinky, so I'm figuring that was at the right distance to read it since it said "waist level". I figure if I do it that way every time I'll be consistent. I also walked outside onto my back deck with no shade to do the test (it's a very sunny day here...no clouds).
Also I inadvertantly put the water resistant paper to the test. :rolleyes: At some point while I was doing my testing water got all over the counter that I didn't notice until I was putting everything back in the box - I know it wasn't any of the reagents because I put the lids back on them immediately after using them (it might not have been from me...my 5 year old was hoovering about) and got all the papers that came with the kit wet. It didn't effect the water resistant paper at all! :D
Thanks Ben! I'll be looking for my PoolSolutions Test Kit Guide Book in the mail!
