So my buddy has a 6000 gallon pool. Two days ago it went really cloudy and he we to a pool store and was sold hundreds of dollars in chemicals. 2 days and his pool is still a mess and they want to sell him more.
I went today with my test kit to try and help him out. His PH was 7.5, CYA is 22, FC was 3 but Combined Chlorine was 4.5.
Now he has one of those smart ionizer things which I doubt does much but I told him he needs to keep his filter on high 24/7 and we should add more chlorine and do the SLAM method till the pool is clear.
Now according to SLAM FC for the cya and size was 10. I also read that if CC is high you should super chlorinate the pool and make the FC 10x the CC. If that is right does that mean putting his FC to 45, is that right?? I had him add 12.5 bleach this morning to get FC to 15, filter been on all day pool still cloudy but I'm gonna have him test tonight but what should I have him get his FC to to rid this pool of the CC issue?
