I'm trying to ditch my pool supply store and do it myself...but I'm having questions. My water is clear, but there is yellow algae on the bottom of the pool...not a ton, but it's definitely there.
Here's my results when I started yesterday:
ph 7.4
FC .5
CC 3.5
CYA 40
I've been adding GALLONS AND GALLONS of bleach in the last 24 hours (probably almost 18 gallons). The highest I've got the FC test to read was 6 (this morning). I added 2 more gallons and checked 2 hours later. The FC was down to 4. So, I added another 4 gallons (always 8.5% bleach) and tested 1 hour later and the FC is .5. Am I doing something wrong? I'm about to head out to the store and buy another 20 gallons of bleach. Thanks for any help you can offer!!
