Im new to this, filled my new pool mid December so this is my 1st summer. I read a lot of threads here to educate myself and became very CYA Conscious.
3 weeks ago, I tested my water and my CYA was at about 29 so I used dichlor shock to get it up to around 35. I then switched to Cal Hypo. My pool started looking poor towards the end of last week, I cannot keep my dogs out of it, so I added a lot of chlorine. Today it looks ok (a little cloudy), but not pristine so I did a full test with my TFT Test kit and was shocked and could use some advice.
Here are my levels TFT (Leslie
FC - 1 (Leslie .5)
CC - .5 (Leslie 1.3)
PH - 7.5 (Leslie 7.6)
TA - 50 (Leslie 55)
CH - 275 (Leslie 275)
CYA - overflowed no reading (took to Leslie and they said CYA was 5)
where did my CYA go? Where did my AK go?
I have slammed my pool for the past couple days, I will add 2 lbs of cal hypo tonight. I also got a small bucket of TriChlor for my feeder since I have one and have never used it and my CYA is low. Not sure what to do.
Pool Chemistry... UGH!!!
