sodium hypochlorite to shock my pool
- Thread starter onedah
- Start date
All,
I finally got my test kit and completed my first round of testing, results below:
FC - .05
CC - 1
pH - 7.2
TA - 60
CH - 400
CYA - just under the 100 line
Pool water is crystal clear
So not sure what to do next - the CYA test only records to a max of 100 is the correct?
If so, when I tested the test come out at around the 100 mark - on 3 attempts I got reading of just under a 100, 100, and 90.
In addition- I am seeing Algae form on the walls every few days.
Help on next steps would be appreciated.
Thanks

Visible algae plus CC>.5 means you need to SLAM the pool. However, the SLAM process is pretty problematic at the CYA levels you have. I'd suggest draining to get it down to 50 or so, then SLAM the pool.
