Please HELP! A week ago my water started to get a tad cloudy, but PH was consistent 7.5, TA was consistent 80, and FC was always in the 3 range. I used a taylor trst kit to get those measures. Each day pool started to get a little more cloudy & a little more green, but all levels stayed at above mentioned, except FC which allways bounces a bit since going to full BBB method this year. I have maintained with only bleach this season up until this point. By Sunday eve i had a green swamp. PH 8.2, added muratic acid to get it to 7.2. I've read the algae and SLAM articles & several comments. I knew my CYA wasnt registering on test strips, so I used pool math to add CYA via sock method yesterday. Been adding extra bleach in attempt to shock. Waiting for my taylor K2006 kit to arrive, should be here tomorrow, so i took a water sample to local hardware store. Calcium hardness is very low, so do i need to address that before continuing?i know something is wrong with chlorine b/c total & free shouldnt be the same, and cc shouldnt be 0! Here are my current readings from that test:
FC 10.6
TC 10.6
CC 0
PH 8.2
Hardness 59
CYA 14
Iron 0
Phosphate 479
FC 10.6
TC 10.6
CC 0
PH 8.2
Hardness 59
CYA 14
Iron 0
Phosphate 479
