That's good to know about cyanuric acid above 50 ppm being a waste and possibly causing chlorine lock, but when I got my water tested by Leslie's Pool Supplies, they flagged my 48-ppm result, saying the ideal range is 50 to 100 ppm.
the cya test doesn't show anything about the level of ppm? I did the cya test the same way as Wayne.....yes cloudy water poured into small tube.how does one read the cya level for determination? the amount of water , can't see black dot at bottom of tube, ok...but there is no visual for cya levels?????
The right most column as YOU are kooking at it on the screen. Past this I don't get how the hell that pool water column color/s match up to ANY of those 3 adjacent pinkred columns is way past my comprehension. Ain't even close in color. If I buy the thing it's probably cleared up by fondling the directsheeonies I guess - or it goes back for refund.
I am sorry but man I am having trouble following you. You really need to be more specific with what you are doing. I am about to use this kit for the first time and now will go looking for more help. Left side, right side of water sample. You need to show more of what you are doing. The part with the drops is good. Just not fully getting it.Thanks.
My wife and i decided to start cleaning and caring for our own pool for the first time. So, when my contract ended with the local pool cleaner company, I had the owner/paid the owner for the pool man to deliver all the chemicals we needed for our new adventure. I followed the directions on the top of the K-2005 lid ‘top-inside’ color coded. It’s not to bad and I dropped chemistry in college for the first attempt. Ha. So, I just read and tested them in groups. The water container is designed so you can get enough water in your test sample collector. I tested {Free, Combined and Total Chlorine (yellow) and PH (red) at the same time as they both require either similar or the same water levels for testing and the color coding makes the little bottles less intimidating for a beginner. TA and CH can be tested together as well. I didn’t check it yet but i believe CYA and Salt are measured separately requiring more water then the test beaker allows. Thus rinse and repeat - follow instructions on CYA and Sodium/Salt and you’ll have those results as well. Now researching all the variants of chemicals both liquid and solid to correct your weather balance if it’s off is a different video and a different discussion. Mine for example is 0.8 according to the Saturation Index on the Taylor Watergram >(c)
@@erikjmitchell pretty spot on. This kit doesn’t test for salt. Dude I’m video also had a high Calcium reading which was throwing the sat index off. Had it been it 300 his index would have been close to 0. That said the CY being so high you’d actually need to add More chlorine and maintain a higher level while it’s at 100. Another factor that pushed his index up into the positive. Pool guy got a little zealous with them Chems. Ideally in the tropics you’d want free chlorine at 4ppm. Combined chlorine at 0 ph at 7.4 TA at 100 CY 60-80ppm and CA at 300. Hope this helps.
I bought the kit and just started using it by following the directions. At first I concentrated on pH, chlorine and CYA. After that I ventured into alkalinity and calcium hardness. Now I do it in a flash. After using the kit for one Summer, this video is very helpful to shout out the numbers and for a refresher. It doesn't matter how you start, it's going to take time and use up some chemicals. This biggest disadvantage of this kit is that the refills are very costly.
HEY... someone call Zhou Xi Bi-Denharris's plastic straw police and dot.Guv EPA hazmat troopers... I just saw Mr. Taylor here throw that deadly reagent mix... ON THE GRASS!
Great video for people who are new to the industry and for those who need a refresher!
Thank you for this! it was so helpful
Thanks for the video
Great video

I service about 30 pools weekly, highest I keep any of them is 45ppm.. 100ppm would be absolute max, but not necessary
Are you testing on a salt water pool?
the cya test doesn't show anything about the level of ppm? I did the cya test the same way as Wayne.....yes cloudy water poured into small tube.how does one read the cya level for determination? the amount of water , can't see black dot at bottom of tube, ok...but there is no visual for cya levels?????
yeah right on the side it says CYA and has some numbers 0-100
I cant really see which tube the droplets are going in

I was hoping taste was one of the four senses needed. Chlorine is so yummy... ):
Rich guy with the chlorine in his pool
I dunno: Throwing reagents on to the grass or into the pool is probably not a great idea.
A regular dot.guv felony, huh?
My jaw dropped when he dumped into the pool lol
@@user-cn4tc5tq2s I never said it was a felony. Dramatic much?
