This morning's numbers (from a TF100):
pH: 7.4-ish
FC: 1.5
CYA: 50-60
TA: 80-90
When I opened the pool three weeks ago, it was the first time in two years (new owner of the house). The pool cover was very old and had plenty of holes, so there was a LOT of gunk in the pool. I've gotten the water cleared up, and am down to just a bit of dirt that settles on the bottom every day. I'm still running my pump 24/7.
My FC is still dropping every day. I'm having to add a gallon or so of bleach a day. I'm thinking I need to just slowly keep upping my CYA with stabilizer to the 70-80 range.
Questions:
1) Is that the right strategy?
2) Since I'm running my pump 24/7, does it really take a week to get the full adjustment from adding stabilizer?
3) Over the last week, I've noticed an increasing amount of bubbles in the return. Is this a concern?
4) How do I know when it's okay to drop my filtering to just a few hours a day?
