Well I have been very happy with pool life until this evening. Here is the back story. Saturday May 18 started filling the pool with well water. I did the chlorine/ph test daily while filling and estimating the gallons. I added 2 pounds of dichlor to get some CYA in the water and kept the chlorine level between 3-8 with bleach. Finished up the fill Sunday and got the pump running. I had skimmed the pool daily but had some pollen, small leaf bits, and fuzzy things from hickory tree in the bottom.
I got the vacuum started and have been vacuuming everyday to get everything out. Just have a bit more to go. I did the full gambit of tests this evening and the numbers are confusing me.
TC- 3.5
FC- 1.5
CC- 2
TA- 150
CH- 150
CYA- 25
Ph- 7.8
Water Temp- 74
I have kept a sock of stabilizer in the pool since it was about a 1/3 full. According to pool calculator I had added enough to bring it to 40. My tests were normal at the 2/3 full point and today the CYA has dropped, CC has gone up, and my FC dropped. This evening is the first day the water has been warm enough to get in. What could have happened?
The water is crystal clear. I used pool calculator to bring the FC to shock level of 12, added enough stabilizer to bring the CYA up to 30, and acid to lower the ph. Any other recommendations on what to do?
