pH 7.6
TA 60
CYA 45-50
Leaving the pool for the week soon. Pool has been not so "Trouble Free" this year. Mustard algae is getting the better of me. I know how to do it but just ain't got it right yet I guess. Between the sun and it pool eating Gallon of 8.25 bleach a day( three times more than last year). I have slammed bammed and whatever only to have it come back. Right now in a good stretch but worried a week away is gonna be a problem. Been holding the pool to 10FC or better for the last week and never less than 5 this year. Goes up to 15 at night but 24 hours later the sun takes its toll. Passing OCLT for now. Should I raise my CYA a little more? Maybe 60ish?
Full sun most of the day. Water temp was 96 for three weeks. Cooler nights have it down to 91.
Wondering about this algaecide. Follow directions by adding 10 oz to start?
Trying to keep my mind from wondering back to the copper gizmo I got pool stored into when I first set up the pool and prior to my knowledge of this fine site. My hair doesn't turn green, but is about to fall out dealing with this issue. I know I know but it made life easy even though it wasn't sanitary.
Bought a two speed motor runs 16 hours a day on low. to make sure water is moving. Robot to vacuum instead of me but I still am slave to bleach humping. Wondering sams will cut me a deal on a pallet.
