Test Results

Forgot to mention CYA is less than 20PPM, added 4lb's today as a start. Going to use some tri-chlor pucks the rest of this week as I am traveling. I also plan to shock to 10PPM (all the bleach I have!) tonight.

Re-ran tests with similar results:
CYA: 20<
PH: 7.2
OTO: 1-2
FC: 0.5
CC: 1.0
TC: 1.5
ALK:100
Temp:47

Ouch--tri-chlor pucks ON TOP of 4 lbs of CYA? Watch your levels VERY carefully--I suspect they will rise. Besides, with high CYA levels, if you put the correct amount of chlorine in, it should hold for a few days, easily.

Heh...heh..heh, 50K gal pool laughs at 4 pounds of CYA.
I know I hate adding the stuff but it is a necessary evil.

Back from my trip and well rested. Vacuumed entire pool and looking good. Still need to adjust the chems but going slow.

Today's tests
FC - 1.5
CC- 0 or maybe .5
TC - 2.0
PH - 7.2 will add 20 lb of BS to increase by .2
ALK - 90 would like to get this up 20 - 30 PPM, maybe after PH adj.
CAL - 110 vinyl pool just felt lik erunning test
CYA - still less than 20ppm but a little cloudier than before.
