Hi all:
I have a 28,000 gallon concrete pool with fiberglass walls. After turning an algae fest at the beginning of the season to a crystal clear oasis, I got all my numbers perfect with the exception of CH. I had some interesting stains on my stairs, and since that was the only number that was off, I decided to switch to Cal Hypo from Bleach just to get the number into the acceptable range. After using cal hypo for the last 3 weeks, my pool has gotten cloudier and cloudier and now is on the verge of this light green/yellow color. Every time I add cal hypo (tried direct into skimmer and also diluted using 5 gallon bucket of pool water before distributing into deep end), the next day I see yellow deposits/streaks all over the pool. It vacuums up easily enough, but comes right back the next day. Are these just calcium deposits? Are they going to go away once I switch back to bleach? Should I just forget about getting my CH numbers up since I had a crystal clear pool to begin with?
TA: 90
PH: 7.4
CYA: 45
FC: 6.0
CC: <0.5
CH: 125 (started at 90 prior to switching to cal hypo)
Thanks in advance!
