Opened my pool about 10 days ago. CYA is 70. Ph was about 6.8 (added 200lbs of salt to get it up to 3400 ppm)
Alkalinity is 90. FC was pretty much 0. Immediately dumped required amt of 6% bleach to bring to shock level
of 20 ppm (pool calculator numbers). I know Ph is low,but figured salt would increase some. Now that I shocked
I wont get a good Ph reading. I brush at least 2 times a day. I add a couple gallons of bleach at night to keep
at shock level. Pool went from ugly green to GRADUAL clearing. The past 5 days have seen no progress.Shallow
end mostly clear,deep end hanging on to cloudy light green.
It seemed when I used Trichlor(shock) in the past as opposed to bleach, my pool would be crystal clear in 2 days
max. Does bleach normally take this long to clear? Also been running filter 24/7 for past 10 days, SWG at 100%
for past 3 days. Okay Im done.
