1st Test Results with my PS233

[Phulish]

Thanks Dave, I feel as though I have learned a ton, I thought TA was Alk, it is at 100. I guess I am still wondering if my CC can creep up overnight as I tested it after about 2 hours of putting in bleach and I had 0 FC and 0 TC in prior to adding bleach.

Thanks

Sorry, I overlooked your Alk results both times.

This is a little above my pay grade but it might make sense for your additon of bleach to form a little CC....meaning there was a little something organic in there. I believe it is possible for CC to drift back down to 0 without shocking but I am not positive.

I test <.5CC frequently during the Summer and simply ignore it. If it goes to 1, I shock the pool (twice in two Summers).

Dave, you may have been right on as I tested this AM and had a FC of 13 and a CC of 0. I'll let it drift down to the recommended range for my CYA levels and then maintain.

At this point I will just get my CYA between 30 - 40 and I should be done.


Now I have to call the Pool Store and cancel my opening appointment!!

I read somewhere (I think here) that with the FAS-DPD chlorine test you should always add one more drop of the chlorine test reagent (#0871 in the Taylor kits and I think in Ben's as well) after the sample turns clear before performing the combined chlorine test. If I remember right, it said that if you didn't do this you would you would always show a CC level of 0.5 (or 0.2 if using the 25 CC water sample).

Wish I could find that post...
