Re: Strange test results
Ok, based on BigDave's questions, I included cya in my testing tonight. Riddle me this... How could I have no measurable cya in the pool when I first tested it, then the only cya added was in the 5# of dichlor I put in a few weeks ago which amounts to about 23ppm. Now my cya is over 50ppm. Where did the other 27 ppm come from?
I am assuming that the higher than expected cya number explains why chlorine levels are not dropping much during the day when I have been able to keep it uncovered... For example, last night I had 5ppm fc and 19ppm cc, but tonight after leaving the cover off all of today and it being a bright, sunny day, fc was 4.5 and cc was 15.5 (i didn't add anything last night after testing).
So now, if I understand correctly, i should take my tc up to 30ppm (by adding 8-9 qts of 6% bleach), right?
