What a great website! I learned yesterday that I have NEVER truly shocked my pool, alge and all the issues over time have added up. I hope I am headed in the right direction. My issue, I can't keep chlorine in the pool, it was green (again) and I have spent the last two weeks getting it crystal clear. I'm afraid I will lose the battle when I go on vacation next week for 3 weeks, pool showed hints of alge again yesterday soooo....
I used pool math and as of yesterday I shock/slamed the pool. This is the first time it's been "truly" shocked "EVER". Vitals are FC (27 when shocked), before FC 0 and TAC .5 and I have 4 3" tabs in along with the 25K t-9 generator going at 90%. Salt is 3100, CH 300, CYA 65, TA 120, PH 7.2, Copper 0, Iron 0, Pho 100. New pumps 1yr, new filter, etc. The issue is, I can't keep chlorine in it and if left alone more than one day it heads south. I added the new 25K gal generator to pool to generate more chlorine due to AZ heat, pool can get to 90 and is up to 87 now. BTW, last year I compleatly replaced the entire generating system thinking the old one may have something wrong.
The question is, am I missing something? What do I need to test or do? Will the shock/slam get me there? If it turns again, I will bulldoze it.
