    Taylor 2006C test kit.
    TDS + 500 per pool supply house. Does this affect the CYA reading in the test tube?

    Pink slime has gone away for the most part. May get a small quarter sized spot occasionally.

    Are you asking, does TDS level affect CYA reading? If so, the answer is no.

    Code:
                     FC  T/CC CH   CYA    TA   PH   PHO
    7/12-AM Store   1.0  1.0  260   60    80  7.6   100
    7/12-AM Home    2.0  0.5  410  115   130  7.5     0
    How is the pool store testing? Those numbers don't look like computer read numbers, but they are as inaccurate as computer testing.

    As far as TDS/CYA, thanks, I wasn't sure.
    Pool supply house uses drops for various tests, glass beaker with spinning capsule in it, etc. with computer printout of info. Pretty big diff in CH, CYA and TA. Going to check again tomorrow and double check results, but have gotten pretty consistent readings with my test kit.
