    OK, so you've got two readings of CYA = ~110?

    But, your pool is clearing up? OTO orange is usually 15 - 35 ppm, so that's appropriate. With CYA > 100 ppm, it's not only safe, it would be comfortable for swimming.

    The HTH 6 way only did two CYA test. I tested the CYA when I got the test kit before I started to add bleach. I did test again before I added the first 8 gals account you but that in red in your instructions. The first was 120 and the second 4 days ago was 110.(new test kit shipped today) The pool is getting very clear. I just jumped in and the chlorine was a little hard on the eyes but not bad. Thanks for all the help again!! How would you sudjest I maintain the pool going forward?

    You'll need a Taylor K2006, in order to maintain appropriate chlorine levels for a pool with CYA that high. Otherwise, just follow the Best Guess Chart, and keep your pH in range, and you should be fine.

    I would like to thank all of you again for the great help.

    I received the Taylor k-2006c yersterday and here are all the test results.

    FC 26 ppm
    CC .5 ppm
    pH 7.6
    TA 140
    CH 200
    CYA 90

    It has been raining for the last two days and Issac has added about 4" of water to the pool which I think helped bring down the CYA. I have quit using the inline chlorinator with the 3" tabs. I plan on using it again if we are to go out of town or if I need to bring up the CYA. One thing I should mention is that the water is very clear even after all of the rain. I do have a few more question for you if you get a chance.

    (1) Do you know of a good pool volume cal? I have used several on the internet and all are giving me differant answers. I have a 27' round AG pool and the actual water depth is 49"

    (2) What are the ideal levels for all test on my pool? Mainly the TA, pH, and the Ch. I think the best guess chart takes care of the rest!

    Thanks again for all of the help! You have made be a believer!!!

    Good general guidelines for levels for vinyl pools: TA 80-120 but those aren't set in stone and you are fine at 140. You don't need calcium but it isn't a problem unless you get too high like maybe over 400ppm. Then you may have cloudy water issues. And, pH is ok anywhere between 7.2- 7.8. Your CYA is kinda high at 90 so I would advise not using any forms of stabilized chlorine meaning no trichlor pucks and no dichlor shock powder.

    Based on the depth supplied when the Pool Chart was completed, her volume is about 15,000 gallons, as shown above.
