First time using K-2006, need to interpret results
I finally got my K-2006 in, and did my first test. I need some help in interpreting the results, and recommendations on getting my pool Stabilized. Thanks!
Using a K-100, I got the following results...
Chlorine - Less than 0.5ppm
Bromine - Less than 1ppm
pH- between 7.2-7.5
Using the K-2006 Test, I got the following results
Chlorine - never turned pink, even after adding 5 dippers worth of R-0870.
pH - 7.2
Alkalinity - 9-10 drops of R-0009 to turn water to red using the 25ml test, so that is 90-100ppm...
Calcium Hardness - 2 drops of R-0012 to turn color from red to blue using the 10ml test. So that is (2x25) or 50ppm of calcium carbonate.
Cyanuric Acid - I did exactly as told, filled the clear test bottle to 7ml of pool water, then added R-0013 to the 14ml mark. I mixed for 30 seconds, then slowly entered into the CYA test tube with the black dot at the bottom. I completely filled the test tube, and could still see the black dot as plain as day. I looked at the CYA test bottle, and it was as clear as drinking water. I dunno if I did something wrong, or if my CYA is just that bad off.
Also, Yesterday afternoon, I added 4 gallons of bleach, right before the mailman delivered my K-2006. I tested the pool water with the K-1000, and the CL was off the charts high. I tried with teh K-2006, but quit so I didnt continue to waste all my reagents. One to this afternoon, I am reading less than 0.5 ppm Chlorine, so something is certainly eating up my chlorine fast.
Anyways, these are the results I got. I need to get it balanced. Any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks!
