    Wait a few days before you test again to be sure. You don't want to waste the reagent.

    Fc up to 7.2 and ph down slightly to 7.2 (as a result of the cya I assume) will wait a few days to test cya level but added a bit more today and my best guess is that I should be around 45 after all is said and done. Chlorine held well added last night and while today was mostly cloudy it seems as if the chlorine is beginning to hold. Will add some borax tomorrow to keep ph in the 7.6 region. Looks like I may be swimming this weekend!

    Awesome! That would be great. I intend to get off this computer and do the same! I gotta enjoy my pool, too!

    if you will use a 10mL water sample when you do your chlorine tests instead of the 25mL sample, you will save on your reagents. It gives you a reading to the nearest 0.5 instead of 0.2 but that is plenty good enough.

    Keep up the good work!
