Hi gang, I'm new to this sight and have been doing a lot of reading on the site and learned a lot, however this is my problem.
My pool is an inground 16x32 about 20,000 gal. water.
We just couldn't get it clear with chemicals, to make a long story short. I read a lot on this site. The bottom had a lot of leaves and dirt which i finally think i got all of them yesterday, between the leaf rake and I also used the leaf vac/bagger that attaches to your garden hose. That worked great. I added 10lbs. Cal hypo 68% shock, and today its a lot better but not clear. I still cant see the bottom. But it looks like it wants to clear. Its a slight green/cloudy.
I took a water sample to the pool store today and they said not to add anything else, and just let the filter run and vacuum it. I still cant see the bottom i told them. He said it didn't matter :? From what i read/understand, your not to vacuum the pool unless you can see the bottom.
These are his results:
FC: 10.96
Ph: 7.8
Alkalinity: 118
Stabalizer: 2 (is this CYA?)
Calcium:280
I thought i should be keeping the FC level at around 30 for shock level until it turns. Is this right?
Should i add more shock to get the FC up to shock level till clear or just leave it alone and vac like he said?,
Thanks Guys, your forum rocks,
Van
