I knew this was going to be the case!
I usually open my pool an Easter weekend, but this year I spent it in the hospital with my wife.
We just got home on the 16th of May, and I have been dealing with Hospice Care, and taking care of her.
As a result, I did not get the chance to open the pool until earlier this morning (2 months behind schedule).
It got to 92* outside today, and my water is sitting at 77*.
I opened to a LIME green pool! I got the plumbing all hooked up, and set the Stenner to run until told otherwise with a fresh 55g drum of 12.5% bleach.
I opened it at 11am and got it all running. I tested the water at 3pm the 4# of CYA had been dispersed. which would put me at about 40 for CYA (rough guess). My FC was showing at 10.5. (Gotta Love a Stenner!)
I set the timer to kick off at 7pm. I have it set to run for 2 hours in the morning. I will test it again after that run.
This is what the pool looked like at 3pm... I swear I can see an improvement already, it isn't the bright LIME green that I opened to!
