I have metal stains on my pool liner. I tested with a crushed up Vitamin C tablet and confirmed what they were, now it's time to perform the ascorbic acid treatment and I just wanted to make sure I had my plan right before starting when I get home from work today. Here's where I am:
FC - 2.0
CC - 0.5
pH - 8.0
TA - 120
Ca - 190
CYA - 55
30k inground saltwater pool with vinyl liner
This morning I turned off the SWG and dumped one quart of Polyquat 60 into the pool. By the time I get home I'm sure the FC will be down close to 0. My plan is as follows:
1 - Put multiport on recirculate and turn pump on continuously (24/7)
2 - Add about 100 oz of muriatic acid to bring pH down to 7.2
3 - Wait 30 mins
4 - Apply @ 2 lbs. of ascorbic acid
5 - Wait 1 hr to see if stains disappear, repeat steps 4 & 5 until stains are gone
6 - Add sequestering agent
7 - Put multiport on filter
8 - Wait 24 hrs
9 - Rebalance water - bring pH up to 7.2 and use bleach to bring up FC to 5
10 - Turn on SWG and set to 80 (where i typically keep it)
11 - Put pump back on timer
12 - Wait 1-2 weeks
13 - Bring pH back up to 7.5
14 - Use sequestrant weekly from here on out
Sooooooo, what am I missing? Did I add enough polyquat? Should I turn my SWG back on when I said I should? Any tips or tricks?
Help is greatly appreciated....
