I’ve had a pool for 3 years now. Above ground “24” 52 high. The first year I followed the wisdom here and had zero problems . Pool was always crystal clear. I had some marital issues and was home that past 2 summers . I stopped using the tf test kit and began using chlorine tabs from samscub. I had algae a couple times on the floor or pool. I also noticed this summer that the chlorine level stays high and never lowers. So the good news is my dw and I are back together and I’m back in my home .
I just ordered my tf test kit today and also ordered the ph meter they sell because I want a precise reading that being said the pool store gave me these results . I know their not the most accurate but the chlorine level never lowering and the algae concerns me . Plus my phosphate is high. So my questions would be this
1. Should I buy phos remover
2. Let’s say for argument sake if my cya level is indeed what it says it is can I just wait it out . I don’t want to drain my pool ( I live on well water ) and I bought liquid shock and will never throw a puck in again .
3 . Please give me advice and my tf100 is on the way. But here’s my results from pool store
Fc 7.99
Tc 9.27
Cc 1.28
Ph 8.5
Hardness 159 ppm
Alkalinity w/ stabilizer correction 78 ppm
Cya acid 102
Copper 0.4
Iron 0.1
Phosphate 1189 ppb recommend 0-500
Thanks for any help .
