I have a TF-100 salt that I use for testing. Was actually trying to figure out how to enable sharing of pool math logs but was not successful. How do I do that?

Dumb question but I assume to check the SWG you have to take it off and look inside?

Ok, after being up and running for about a month now I am feeling some level of confidence about my ability to maintain my pool in the TFP way. My numbers all seem to be in range on poolmath with the exception of my CH number which stays consistently just out of range on the low side. Is this...

After adjusting CYA and FC I now have the following numbers. Much better than what I had so now I’m wondering what to do next. Presumably with it being April in Texas we are still far from peak UV demand so I am wondering if the CYA is okay for now or if I should push for 70. I added 1lb of...

Thank you for the help!

my understanding is that the results of the test indicate that the chlorine loss is happening during the day? I assume that is due to the low CYA….do I add another sock of conditioner?

CYA is 30

Well, I’m new to this so it’s entirely possible it is a measurement error. Maybe the 30 was a little off or my 23 this morning was off. Light conditions certainly weren’t the same. I’ll test again and see what I come up with.

Ok, did the OCLT and the results are in. Yesterday FC started the day at 3.5 and by the end of the day was at 2.0. Added bleach per OCLT guidelines and got to 3.5. This morning the FC was still 3.5 but CYA is lower. Do I need to add to the CYA with the sock?

Dang. Ok. Won’t make that mistake again. Should I add muriatic acid to get the pH down or do I need to SLAM?

Got it. I’m a slow learner. I used Clorox bleach which comes in an 81 ounce bottle and says it yields 7.17%. Did the sock with 1.65lbs of dry powder overnight and squeezed it out this morning about 6am. Just tested again and came up with a CYA of about 26. Chlorine of 3.5. Felt like I was...

Ok. 81oz gets me 4.2. Is that enough or should I go a full 5?
