We have had a hard time balancing this year. We replaced the SWG a few weeks ago, appears to be generating. We can't get our FC above 0. We had iron staining and used Asorbic acid to remove stains (worked beautifully) added metal free, waited 36 hours as directed. The morning we were to use filter blast to clean filter the pool was cloudy. Used it anyway and rinsed VERY thoroughly. Pool was blue, but still cloudy. We had to wait 1 week to add shock. Took for a water test on Sat with the following readings:
TC: .8
FC: 0
ph: 7.4
alkalinity: 105
calcium hardiness: 250
stabilizer:0
salt: 3200
added 3 gals liquid shock, 8# stabilizer
tested next morning FC still 0
took test to another store on 8/14 got these results:
FC: 0
total chlorine: .5
salt: 3300
calcium hardiness:250
CYA: 0
TA: 120
ph: 7.6
copper:0
iron:0
phosphates:1000
Told me we had a chlorine block
added: 5lbs powder chlorine free shock and some clarifier (2oz)
still FC:0
8/15- spoke with pool service company they told me to turn SWG to 100% and to add phosfree
added: 1.5 liters phosfree, 3 lbs dry chlorine free shock and 5 pounds Stabilizer - both to different skimmers
still FC: 0
8/16- pool still cloudy with a layer of white bubbles all over test strip shows:
FC: ok in 1-3 range
Alk: ok in range 80-120
ph: ok in range 7.2-7.8
CYAk close to color of 40
not sure what to do to get rid of the bubbles and the cloudy water!
