Hi All!
After enjoying a great summer thus far, our pool suddenly went cloudy, and checking the chemistry the mystery was solved!
The chlorine dropped from a 5.0 to 0 within 2 days. I totaly underestimated the influence of heat on the pool. We had turned up our heater to about 89 because we had friends with babies over and wanted to assure the pool temp was warm for the babies...anyway, that screwed the entire chlorine level and I of course did not pay attention until when I saw the cloudiness.
Todays Readings:
Temp: still 88 but heater is off
FC: .05
TC: 1
Blue Kit: CH-1.5isch Ph-7.4
T/A: 80
CYA: 100
Salt 3200
I've added yesterday about 3 jugs of bleach raised it to about 3, the today low again so I added two more earlier today!
I need to get Borax to raise PH will do that later on.
Does anyone have suggestions how I get rid of the cloudiness?
Thanks!
Cloudy in NC!
Cheerio,
Tanja
