Hello TFP friends ~
So over the winter the cover of our AGP pulled up over the sides of the pool and let in some leaves and debris. May 31 pulled off the cover, scooped out lots of leaves and debris then starting testing and slamming on June 1. I've been testing and adding chlorine 3 times per day, brushing and skimming out debris 1-2 times per day. Slow progress of water turning form green to green/blue to blue/green to cloudy blue. Still find light brown debris/dirt piles settling to the bottom of the pool.
When I vacuum with Aquaray air builds up in filter tank. So, obviously an air leak somewhere. So, I babysit and release air every 10 minutes or so. I'm doubting the effectiveness of our filter but can't afford to replace.
6/6/17 afternoon
Here are the most recent readings...
9:00 AM, 70 degree air temp
FC = 14
CC = 1
pH = 7.2
TA = 160 (typically high)
CYA = 20
I've been Slamming to 16, but just rechecked the chart and will SLAM to 11.
12:00 PM, 72 degrees
FC = 13
CC = 1
pH = 7.2
6/7/17
Headed out to clean cartridge and start vacuum. Kids are begging to get in there. But I'm keeping them distracted.
Any encouragement is welcome. Yes that's a shameless request for an "at-a-girl".
