Hi, Folks,

I'm not sure if there is anything to be learned from this but just had to post it. A coworker asked me to test his pool water. He had relied heavily on an inline chlorinator and pucks to keep his water clear for years. He suspected he had a problem cause his test strips gave no reading and he asked me to test a sample for him with Ben's kit. Here's what I got

FC - 44
TC - (what's the point?)
pH - 6.8 - 6.9
Alk - 80
CYA - 120 plus

I told him that if he didn't like the color and pattern of the liner not to worry 'cause it would be gone when he got home!!

Amazingly, 10 days later of adding nothing and his FC is down to 22 and his liner DID NOT fade one bit. I'm assuming the buffering of the CYA protected him....I can think of no other reason he has any color at all in his liner.

Again, I doubt this has any value to anyone, but I simply had to post that FC - 44
