New test Kit arrived today. Here are the numbers!

[GA Mark]

TC 1.5
CC 1.0
FC .5


PH 7.8
TA 160
CH 60
CYA 65

So I know this.
Water look's crystal clear
New pool last week
I have a 24' above ground pool
15,500 gallons
22' sand filter
2 speed pump

and I am using BBB

So I need to add what?

[Watermom]

FC + CC = TC. Always. So, first you need to straighten out your chlorine readings. Your ph is fine at 7.8, but you don't want it any higher. Your alk is OK at 160 for a vinyl pool. Your cya is a little higher than I like, but OK at 65 if you maintain adequate chlorine levels as a result. See the "best guess" chart in the sticky at the top of the chlorine forum.

Is that not what mine is?

[Watermom]

Yes! For some reason I just read it wrong. I guess I'm just used to seeing people list their TC last and for some reason, I just misread it. My apologies.

[GA Mark]

no problem at all. I thought I was doing something wrong.

Just add beer and women
