CYA Test with Taylor K2006 - CYA over 200!

Yeah, I think your logic is fine on your CYA test. It's subject to a lot of inaccuracy from the dilutions but I think you're close.

If you have a water softener, you could limp by the rest of the Summer then drain and refill through the softener solving both CYA an Ca issues. (keep your chlorine up)

Clarification - The "tap" water I used was actually filtered water from my RO system.

I thought my CH was too low at 60 ppm.

I think I need to bump my Calcium up some. BTW, I do have a water softener, and that is exactly what we did about three years ago - we filled the pool partially with softwater (if I remember correctly it was approx. 50% soft, 50% hard).

Yeah, I sorta' jumped to the conclusion that your CH test result was erroneous.....

Most of the pool store readings for my pool have been in the 450 to 550 range. I need to recheck my CH

Certainly, if your Ch is 60, more Calcium is in order.
