Hello,
This is our second year with a 28000 gallon inground concrete pool. This year we had a pool frog mineral system installed. Everything was working great and crystal clear and I was overconfident. It got cloudy.
Last year - the pool store convinced me to use Baquacil, which turned out to be quite expensive and fussy. This year we have switched. The pool frog uses a bromine pellets and I have been shocking with the regular bags of chlorine shock from Walmart. It does turn green everytime I add shock and I am wondering if there is a different shock I should be using.
I used the test strips and with the results I ended up adding more shock and 1 gallon of muriatic acid. Today I bought a test kit and the numbers are such:
ph 7.2
ta 140
cya 0
chlorine/bromine 0
hardness 300
I am not sure how to interpret these. It seams I should shock more. But I think the cloudiness could be caused by the filter. (they did not change the sand post Baquacil) Just looking for some input here.
Thanks so much!
