Oops. Now what? Cloudy water, high numbers.

Your last readings and the pool store's readings are too different. I hope you didn't buy anything from them except reagents!

I would wait on your chemistry until you get new reagents except for keeping FC in the pool.

If you haven't ordered reagents yet, I use Amato Industries on Ben's Amazon link. Don't be afraid of shipping costs with them. It looks like each item you add to the cart has high shipping, but when you check-out, it all gets discounted. They fill orders quickly.

Can you provide the Amato Industries on Ben's Amazon link?
I can't seem to locate it.

[FormerBromineUser]

Apparently Amato Industries has moved or changed.
Here is a link you can use. It goes to the cheapest priced R0871. I'm not sure what you need, but you can start from there:

If that's not the reagent you need, or you need others also, click testing on the left sidebar. The Pool Forum gets 4-7% of sales and the link always searches the best total price with shipping.

Amato is back up! Here is a link to their Taylor Page:

Remember that the shipping gets discounted for multiple items when you check-out.

As described on the Taylor page of interferences for the K-2006 kit in this link, note that at high FC levels the TA test can go from blue to yellow instead of green to red. So you should have stopped your count when you saw the color change to yellow. Also make sure there isn't static electricity by wiping the dropper tip with a moist cloth. The drops should be well formed and not squirt out.

Thanks ChemGeek. I didn't know about the color change with a high FC.
I never thought about static, but always ensure the drops are formed.
Appreciate all the input.

Our numbers as of Monday night:
4.0 FC
0.4 CC
7.3 pH
40 TA
63 CYA

I added 2 cups of Borax after these measurements.
I'll retest tonight.

The water is still cloudy and looks exactly the same after running the pump 24/7 for ~4½ weeks.
We've been changing filters once or twice per day.
