Pulled a sample tonight, ran tests using my new Taylor K2006 kit and here are the numbers:
pH: 7.4
CYA: Unknown, definitely less than 30
FC: 0.5
CC: 0.5
TA: 125
CH: 200
I shocked it with 8 gallons of 10% liquid chlorine and 2 gallons of 12.5% chlorine about 2 weeks ago. Unfortunately I was not able to stay on top of it. I also put about 4 of the 3" tricolor tabs in the skimmer at that time and have a floater with 4 tabs in it as well. It went slightly blue at the deep end but is going green again.
The pool is in full sun most of the day.
I have learned a lot in my lurking here but when this pool goes green, it gets really hard to get it back. It appears I have a stabilizer issue of some kind. I assume I need to add more? Anything else?
Thanks in advance for the help.
