For the last month I've been trying to get chemistry of my new pool into the limits. My main issue was a strong smell of chlorine.
We were out this weekend, so I didn't check pool for a few days. When I checked pool on Monday, there was absolutely no smell, but tests showed no Chlorine either (I have tablet chlorinator so there should be some) and water became cloudy. That night I shocked my pool. When I tested pool Tuesday night, there was again no smell and no Chlorine again. Tuesday night I shocked it with 2 bags. Wednesday morning same thing, so Wednesday night I tried to shock it with 3/4 gallon of 15% Chlorine. Today there is 0 Chlorine again.
I think low chlorine and cloudiness related, but how? If it would be Algee then it would be killed by now and there would be a smell.
Here is my test from today, it's been the same for the week (ph was 7.8 in the beginning of the week, before I added acid):
FAC=0
TAC=0
CH=200
CYA=20
TA=110
pH=7.2
TDS=500
Phosphates=700
As this point I am trying to get rid of Phosphates so I added Phos Free.
Does anyone have any recommendation on what could be going on? When pump is on, there is Chlorine in the pool, about 1.0ppm.
Thanks,
Vadim
