New PS234 Results

[jhm]

I've got a 25k gallon, plaster pool in So. Cal. Here's my results:

FC: 7
CC: 0
ph: 7.6
Alk: 125
Cal: 260
CYA: 25
Temp: 82

Not sure what all these mean, but Cal looks high. Cal is a problem with our water, I do know that. Anything I can do to bring it down?

The water looks and tastes great, although I do have a mustard algae problem from time to time (mostly my fault, I think). It's not a current problem.

Thanks!

jhm,

Your calcium is fine. 200-400 is an acceptable range. Your other numbers are good as well. It sounds like you're ready for a "CANNONBALL!"

If I was forced to suggest something, you might consider bringing your CYA up a little, say 40ppm. It should reduce your Chlorine consumption somewhat but, if you're not using much now, I'd leave everything alone.

I'm relieved about the calcium! I was thinking of bringing up my cya also. I can go through gallons of chlorine each week with the sunshine down here.

Thanks!

Jim
