Bromine Chemistry Question

[FormerBromineUser]

Thanks SO much for the replies! I am much comforted knowing you are there. I updated my signature with new info, btw. Toilet tank: slimy, orange bacteria but no dark red stains.... but 24K of the new water was trucked in from water towers so my MetalTrap well-water contribution was diluted.

So.... they installed the auto-cover and pump today. No chemicals were added. They want me to bring in a sample to test after the water circulated for a bit and I will do that tomorrow. I will post results if they differ significantly from mine.

Here are my test results from tonight:

PH: (I am TERRIBLE at judging red/pink tones so I ran it twice)
PH1: 7.8-7.9 (my husband said 8 but he must be worse than me cause, NO WAY)
PH2: 7.8
Acid Demand Test: 2 drops R-0005 brought it to 7.4 (and I do have a gallon of 31.45% Muriatic Acid leftover from last season)
TA: 260-280 (26 was clearish, 27 faint pink, 28 light pink... again, not so accurate on pink tones)
CH: 130
AM: it was a neon-green chartruse, I think maybe almost a 0.5 but not really a match
FC: Obviously 0 (I checked it out of curiosity as one truckload of water came from Chicago city water which is chlorinated)

If I don't hear from you tonight, I may add a half gallon of MA in the morning. I am leaving town Friday afternoon until Monday morning so I am not going to even try to figure out how to get DE for my filter until then. It's too dangerous to leave a potential backwash problem on my dog-sitter! A bucket test for metals will have to wait too. Still gotta pack! (Headed to Virginia to watch my son compete in the ODAC tennis semi-finals. Go Bridgewater College!) ...Sorry, I am psyched and a proud Mom.

Thanks again, guys. I do use Ben's Amazon link for my purchases there but if there's any other way I can repay you for the advice and peace of mind you give me, please let me know.
