Hi,
So glad I found this site. After many many years of pool struggles I am prepared to follow BBB.
Current problem appears to be yellow algae. Treated with Dupont All Purpose Algaecide and it's gone for a few days but always creeps back. Tried No-Phos also to no avail. Then I found this site. Using automatic Hayward tab chlorination with Leisure Time Trichloro-s triazinetrione 3" tabs. Noticed the CL levels didn't seem to be very high even though the tabs were being used up. Also have tried to get PH levels up all summer. Dumped quite a bit of Soda Ash trying to accomplish this. My TA was 110 when I tested with cheapo Leslies old kit. I purchased the TF-100 recently and my results follow:
FC - 1
CC - 2
TC - 3
PH - 6.8
TA - 8
CYA - 50
Cal Hard - 50
Looks like I have to get my TA & PH up then shock. It hasn't been easy! Any comments appreciated. Thanks.
