Hello there,
I am new to the forum and after reading a lot of the Pool School material and many of the posts, I am still a little confused about which step to take first to stabilize my pool water.
Our pool is 16,000 Gal. and we do have chlorine tablets and the Nature 2 express system as well.
We believe we are having a problem with what looks like black algae appearing in several places. They look like black circles.
Here are my current readings:
Results from poollogger.com
FC: 5.9
CC: 0.5
PH: 7.3
TA: 88
CH: 136
CYA: 119
Temp: 85
Borates:
CSI: -0.74
We use a ColoQ Pro11 test kit.
I've read about draining and replacing 40% of the water, using liquid chlorine instead of pucks, increasing the chlorine levels and etc.
I am just not sure which steps to take first.
Thanks for the help,
