Re: CYA test water doesn't get cloudy...why?
Thanks, Watermom! I've been pc-disabled for a bit, but see your reply and it makes sense. I know I need to decrease the pH and alkalinity, but how does that affect the timing of adding cya? Which first?
thank you for your super-prompt reply last time!

Re: CYA test water doesn't get cloudy...why?
It doesn't matter which order--the CYA addition won't affect the pH or TA readings. CYA is by definition an acid, but it doesn't seem to lower pH. The acid you'll use to ratchet the TA down with is muriatic, which is very strong and in liquid form.
