Ok so it's been 3 days since I started making the switch from Triclor pucks in my inline chlorinator to 10% liquid chlorine.
My goal was to try and reduce my inline chlorinator setting to 1.5 (0 is no flow and 5 is highest flow) to keep just a little stablizer going into the pool but to get the main chlorine from the liquid chlorine I've been adding.
Added 32oz of 10% of liquid chlorine 3 days in a row now. FC tests have showed that is the right amount to keep my at 6 to 7 each day. (CYA has been 70 ish)
So today, I opened up my inline chlorinator to check on the Triclor tabs to see if I needed to add any.
To my surprise, the water at the bottom of the chlorinator looked green....has never looked like this until I started adding the liquid chlorine and reducing my chlorinator setting to 1.5
I was thinking how could that be algae in the container that is holding all the chlorine? Maybe it's not algae....but what could that be?
Have made no other changes to pool and water and results look good. Any thoughts on the green water color in my chlorinator?
Oh am using 10% liq chlorine from Home Depot....date was good and could smell chlorine while I was adding each time to I don't question the chlorine strength...plus my FC is holding steady after very hot days.
Also, last 3 days I've gone from running pump 24 hours, to timed cycle of 10 hours (new pool so still trying to dial in my timed run cycle)
FC between 6 and 7 each day
CC - 0
Ph - 7.6
TA -180
CYA 70 to 80
CH 190
Water temp 86 (hot in Texas right now)
Should've took a picture but was in a rush to get ready for work....speaking of work...gotta get busy...but will check back later....any thoughts would be appreciated! Thanks!
