Hello and thank you for this great resource! Based on the many posts here I had the confidence to start up our new swampy mess which hadn't been running for at least 18 months.
As the previous owner neglected the pool and left it uncovered, there was a considerable amount of organic debris at the bottom and I wasn't adequately removing it with my simple leaf net. Once I began with my new deep net it was a game changer! I have pulled out most solid debris from the bottom and have been Slamming the pool for about eight days now. Based on your recommendations, I am using a TF-100 and your guides to test the pool.
The pool is very cloudy, I can not see the bottom - I have been backwashing my sand filter once or twice a day for the last few days.
as of 28/04/15 @ 18:57
FC = 26
CC = 4
PH - Not Tested (Previously 7.4)
TA = 100
CH = 275
CYA = 45
As of 30/04/15 @ 7:00
FC = 14
CC = 5.5
PH - Not Tested (Previously 7.4)
TA = Not Tested
CH = Not Tested
CYA = 45
Why is my Combined Chlorine (CC) rising? - What do I need to do to bring it down to .5 as recommended
Is cloudy water at this stage normal? It might be improving each day - just not as quickly as I may be unrealistically expecting.
Again, thank you in advance and thanks for maintaining this great resource!
