    Default Re: The fight is almost over... or so I think.

    Just taken a few moments ago:
    Cl: 5 ppm using HTH OTO reagent (which looks like the Taylor bottles)
    pH: 7.2
    TA: 110 ppm
    CH: 350 ppm
    CYA: 60 ppm

    I'm thinking it's a good time to tweak the CH levels, but the CYA could come down a little bit - the owner and I used trichlor until I enlightened myself. Earlier this week we dumped in 2 lbs of trichlor shock along with Green to Clean which I think is responisble for the CYA.

    /edit - I didn't test the CH right - I retested it and while the instructions on the test kit say the water should turn red when there's hardness, it was actually purple-red. I then added the titrate until it turned visibly blue, which was 35 drops.
