For back ground I rent out my home when not in residence and currently have guests staying. I'm 4500 miles away but my caretakers are on site.
The caretaker has emailed and says the pool has a 'green tinge' is cloudy and recently reports the chlorine tabs are dissolving at a fast rate ( does not give actual numbers ).
Since signing up to the forum I've read over and over the Pool School info and associated threads, but need advise please.
The water results are (These are from the pool store, my TF kit on order don't know what caretakers have?):
FC= 0
TC= 0
CH= 590
CYA= 150
TA= 120
PH= 7.9
Water = ' green tinge' and cloudy ( pic attached)
Pool temp = 86 degrees
Looks to me like everything is out of control, from my limited knowledge, my assumptions would be the CYA is well out and probably distorting some of the other results, this needing to be corrected first.
CYA only being correctable by draining / refilling, correct??, problem is I have guests staying back to back now untill I come out in April.
From Pool math ( I know this is only a guide):-
I need to drain 67% to get to CYA 50. 'ouch' this should also bring CH down?
Need 124 oz bleach to get to FC 4?? ( I assume at zero guests shouldn't be in the pool??)
Is there a quick fix to make the pool safe /useable and look ok, until I get out to do a proper fix??
Thanks in advance.
