Hi Folks,
Just test both the pool water and the tap water with the HTH6 kit here are the results:
Pool water:
Total chlorine/bromine - came out darker then the top window of 5ppm cl/10ppm br). The test strip says i'm somwhere in between of 5 and 10. My kids went in today and their eyes were burning, and the water stinks of chlorine.
Total pH - also came up that looked to be higher then the top window of 8.2.
Total alkalinity - 90ppm
Total hardness - 80ppm
CYA - Solution never turned cloudy. I emptied all 14ml into the view tube and could still see the dot at the bottom...
Tap water:
Total chlorine/bromine - looks to be at 0.5ppm chlorine, 1ppm bromine
Total pH - looked high again close to 8.2 (Is that normal to be high for tap water?)
Total alkalinity - 50ppm
Total hardness - 90ppm
Here are all the chemicals i have on-hand:
Clorinating ganuals by AquaChem:
trichloro-s-triazinetrione - 71.8%
boron sodium oxide - 8.0%
other ingridiant - enhancer/sunlight protector - 20.2%
(available chlorine 65%)
pH Up by Aquachem
Sodium Carbonate - 100%
Algeacide PLUS by Aquachem
copper metallic - 3.3% (active ingredient)
other ingredient - 96.7%
While at Walmart i also picked up a container of HTH shock 'n Swim
That's all
Thanks in advance!
