Hello, I have read a lot about slamming and will do that but also read it's good to have ph levels good before you start, so here is my short story. Opened pool today and it's a green algae mess. Low chlorine but high PH and no CYA. This is my second year of owning a pool and 1st time opened by me.
I started TFP method last year but still have a chlorinator hooked up and have pucks left so I loaded that up and also have 2 floaters in. I dropped my pool 3 feet during winter so lots of rain water in there. I know that the pucks will drop Ph some and add CYA. So my initial question is should I let the pool run with those for a while before trying to lower the ph with baking soda before I slam? I can't start the slam until the day after tomorrow anyway.
Thanks and Happy Memorial Day.
Ph 8.2
FC .5
Cc 2.5
Total 3 TC
Calcium Hardness test
Color is more pink then red
But got 200
TA 50
Cya no levels shown
