Hi,
I am considering doing my own maintenance. Currently my pool service uses the tablets, and I want to learn how to manage the chemicals myself with bleach. I had some algae, so I added bleach, without really knowing how much to add. The algae is gone (after about 3 days). I also cleaned the filter cartridges, and brushed the entire pool every other day. I vacuum the pool by hand, maybe once every two weeks, or less. I ordered the TF 100 test kit. Chlorine was 23 parts per million. Total alkalinity was 70. PH was 6.9. CYA was 80. Test indicated no calcium.
So far I took out the chlorine tablets. What should I do next.
Thank you!
