Hi Ben.

I know you are really busy and I greatly appreciate your help with doing the bucket test for metals.

Waterbear helped me with problems I was having reading the Taylor calcium test kit results ( http://www.poolforum.com/pf2/showthr...lcium-test-kit ). I appears my calcium level is 250ppm max.

So to summarize, my TA is at 90-100 (NOT adjusted for a CYA level of 80; don't know what the adjusted level would be) and Calcium is at 250ppm max. After waiting an additional 24hrs. the water in the bucket is now clear with only white sediment visible on the bottom (sides of bucket are also white).

Let me know what you think when you get a chance.
