Hey all! In my first year as a pool owner (got our in ground fiberglass pool completed end of June last year). All in all I’ve done a decent job of keeping the chemicals leveled (using Pool Math), but things got a little out of whack while we went on vacation last week and I came home to this:
Using the tips I found here, I got that under control and the pool is back to it’s sparkling self, clear blue self as of yesterday. Testing the water this morning, though, my chemical levels are WAY out of whack. Here’s what I’ve got (all readings using test strip… have the better drop kit recommended on this site coming soon):
7000 Gallon Fiberglass Pool
Tri-Chlor pucks in chlorinator (I used bleach for the shock process in dealing with the algae, though)
FC: 0
CC: 2.0
Ph: 7.8
TA: 240
CH: 50
CYA: 150
Obviously things are way out of whack, especially that CYA (which I think is affecting everything). My initial thought was this was a result of the shocking process and that things will come back down, but that CYA being so high makes me concerned. Thoughts/advice? Thanks in advance!
