Hi,
Yes I do have a heater, the electric heat pump type. Does any one know what level I should keep the CH at??

Thanks

with your TA at 90 you probably should be around 300 to 350 ppm. this is just a rough estimate off the top of my head but it is in the ballpark.

Ok I can see Im going to be on this forum alot BTW thank you all for the info, I added some CYA to the pool today thru the skimmer but some of the crystals got out into the pool. Now I can see it laying in the crease at the bottom of the pool. Is this going to damage the vinyl liner? Should i vaccum it up or is it okay to let it dissolve where it is ??
Thanks

Go ahead and vacuum it up so it can dissolve in the filter.

Hi,
I got my new results, they are

FC 3.6
CC 0
TC 0 ?
pH 7.6
TA 90
CYA 30
CH 150


I have a few questions,
How do these numbers look ?

How often should I test all of these items?

When I test for TA My test kit says to add the drops until the water turns red and at 8 drops the water turns from green to clear with a pink tint and then a little darker pink with each drop - How do I know what they mean by red?

Thanks

Kevin
