K-2006 Arrived! Results Within

[JustAlex4tw]

Tested it again this morning - didnt turn pink. Put in another jug of bleach. Tested tonight and it turned pink!

FC = 5ppm
CC = 5.5ppm

Looks like I should be good on chlorine - I'm going to pick up some OTO tests to do daily checks. From what I read I should keep it between 3-6ppm.

Re-tested pH and it's still either 7.8 or 8
I did the acid test to see how high it was and it only took 1 drop before it went down to 7.4 so I don't think I need to mess with it.

My thoughts now are that I need to add CYA to the pool and just keep tabs on the pH and Chlorine and make sure they don't drop.

Right?

Your chlorine numbers don't look right. At least I hope they aren't right because you certainly don't want a CC reading of 5.5!
How did you get that reading? After you got your FC reading, did you add the 5 drops of R-0003 and then again, add drops of R-0871 til it turned clear? How many drops did it take to clear it?

Have you watched the testing demo videos? http://pool9.net/K2006-vid/

It should probably say FC = 5ppm, CC = 0.5ppm, TC = 5.5ppm

Yes, that's what I did, took 1 drop to clear after the R-0003.

Good. That is what I figured it was. Glad it's not a CC of 5.5!

Thanks for paying enough attention even though there are so many new posts! I appreciate you catching it!

Should I add the stabilizer now?
