OK.....here we go. Time to get serious about keeping my pool in balance.
IG 23,000 gallon pool. Manual chlorination (chlorinator with tabs). Reason I found this forum and bought my TF-100 was I can't keep chlorine in my pool, even with the chlorinator at it's highest level.
From what I can tell, I've obviously got a CYA problem and high alkalinity. The high CYA level is causing my chlorine to be ineffective. Having a small yellow algae issue.....not too bad yet. Would appreciate suggestions on which to treat first. A general game plan.....reading all the sections of Pool School has helped. But, I just need help with the "next step" and what order to address them. THANKS!!!
Test results:
CYA = 90-100
Calcium = 375
FC = 3
CC = .5
Alkalinity = 150
pH = 7.8
Thanks,
Brad
