Okay. Then that means your CYA is close to zero. Add the 4#. How is your FC now?

I will do another reading now...

Just FC/CC

[mrszaff]

Fc 5.6

[mrszaff]

Cc 1.0

FC 5.6, cc 1.0 , is the cya that I'm adding powder or liquid?

K. another question. Are you using a 25ml pool sample? It looks like you are. From now on, use a 10ml sample for FC/CYA. The directions are on the inside lid of your kit. Just count the drops and divide by 2 when using the 10ml.

Arg. Don't like that CC value. BUT don't add more chlorine until you get that CYA into the pool.

Instead of going to Leslie's, you can buy CYA (cyanuric acid) much cheaper at Menard's, Home Depot, Lowe's, etc. Look for as close to 100% cyanuric acid as you can find.

the last reading was from 10ml sample

As for CYA, granular is significantly cheaper, but can take 2-3 days to dissolve and show up on your test. Liquid registers within 2 hours. It's up to you and your budget.

I will get the liquid then, thanks, at this point I just need it clear asap
