Johnny, welcome. You need a little 'tweek' on your abreviations - when someone posts their chem #s the results are usually like this:Originally Posted by JohnnyP
TC (total chlorine) = x ppm
FC (free chlorine) = x ppm
CC (combined chlorine) = x ppm (TC always = FC + CC)
pH (how acidic/ basic the water is {0 - 14}) = x.x
TA (total alkalinity the ability of the water to resist pH changes) = x ppm
CH (calcium hardness - how much calcium is in the water) = x ppm
CYA (cyanuric acid/ stabilizer - keeps the chlorine from being degraded too fast due to sunlight, though it also slows down the oxidization of organics) = x ppm.
While some folks need to worry about metals in their water, apparently you don't. Giving the test results that I capitalized above is the best way to get a reliable answer to any given chem question (including the type and size of your pool will get you even better info). The more information we have, the better we can help someone with a given problem (as you ask more ?s or read more threads, you'll learn to appreciate this). I hope this has helped you!!
My best advice is to give Poolsolutions a good read and play 'quick catch-up' with where the folks here are comming from - you've made the best choice by comming here to 'take control' of your pool!!!
