Well, I knew it couldn't last forever. I got sick and was down for the count for about a week with something bad and nobody else in my house seems to give a Dang about this 10k dollar investment but me. Ok, rant off.
My pool got neglected and the pump did not run for two days. This resulted on 0 FC and a fine film of green and some darker patches on the floor of the pool. I ran my FC up to about 10 and vacuumed it all up. It came up very easily. I then scrubbed the walls. Water was cloudy for two days and now its coming back. So, I came here and read Jason's stickied thread and found what I did wrong. I just took new readings.
FC 3
CC 0
pH 7.6
TA 120
CH 140
CYA 50
FC was 5.5 day before yesterday and I added 128oz of bleach then and now its back down to 3 so I am losing alot overnight at the moment.
So, according to pool calculator and Jason's thread I need to do this:
Add 620oz of Bleach to get to 16ppm (for CYA of 50ppm). Maintain that (Test morning and evening) until the OCLT is less than a .5ppm loss overnight and brush daily. Water should end up milky/cloudy but blueish white, not green. Run the pump 24/7 throughout the process. Water will clear over time after the OCLT is passed. Edit: Backwash filter when the pressure gets to 15psi which is 25% higher than 12psi which is normal.
Is that it? Any other advice?
