After struggling every summer to keep my pool clear, I'm ecstatic I've found this site to help me. Hopefully you guys will be patient with me until I get the hang of it, but here goes nothin'.......
FC- 3
CC- 3
Ph- 7.2
TA- 120
CH- 140
CYA- 60
Water color is blue-green and slightly cloudy with no visible algae on the walls or floor.
These results are from Leslie's and I have a TF-100 on the way. Using the calculator, I'm assuming I need to get FC to 18ppm to begin the shock process. The calculator says I'll need 778 oz. of 6% bleach.
Here are the questions... should I raise the ph and/or Ch before adding the bleach? What are the possibilities I'll be finished with the shock process and have FC back down to swimmable figures by Sunday?
Thanks for the help in advance!
