First test with my Taylor K2006.

Yes, knowing your CYA is one of the 3 most important numbers along with chlorine and pH. Go ahead and run that test and report your number. We need to know that to know what your chlorine levels need to be. More about the chlorine/CYA connection here: http://pool9.net/cl-cya/

If CYA is stabilizer, then the number is 0. I know that without running a test. I don't have any and won't be able to get any until Wed. Working 12 hour shifts kind of puts a damper on getting anything done on work days.

There may be some in there from last year. Probably a good idea to go ahead and run the test.

[Scrapple]

New numbers are in!

Ch: 5.8
pH: 7.2
ALK: 70
CYA: 60

Going to go buy some stabilizer.

[Watermom]

You don't need more stabilizer. A reading of 60ppm is plenty.

Cool I guess all my number are good. Would explain why my pool is nice and clear. You all have been very helpful

[Watermom]

Just make sure that you keep your chlorine in range per the Chlorine/CYA chart I linked for you back in post #6. If you dip too low, you'll risk an algae bloom. (We call that chart our "Best Guess Chlorine Chart." If you lose that link, you can always find it in either my or PoolDoc's signatures.)

One other comment -- use the 10mL water sample instead of the 25ml one. It will make your chlorine testing reagents last longer. You will multiply the number of drops by 0.5 instead of by 0.2.

Glad we could help. If you need us again, you know where to find us!
