I’m a 5 year pool owner and have learned everything I know about maintaining a pool from this site.
My pool cover came off early spring so when I opened the pool I started with something that resembled a pond. This normally isn’t an issue but for some reason what you see in the picture seems to be as good as I can get it.
I thought I made a breakthrough yesterday when I pulled out my stars and found all this algae inside. I brought it up to shock level after that at around 6pm. This morning my fc was around 6 so I added enough to bring it back up. When I got home this evening my fc was around 5 and I just don’t see any changes.
It’s semi clear with I guess a slight green tint. Could this be a phosphate or metal issue or is it just plain old algae? I thought if it was algae and I shocked it that it would turn more into a white cloudy type like it did when I intitially opened it and it was super green.
Fc 5
PH 7.5
CYA 35
TA 80
These fc numbers are from my k-1000 test kit because I’m waiting on more r0871
