Hear me out...
We were in the middle of a long vacation, and we get word the "pool looks a little green". Unfortunate news, but not completely unexpected in the hot and rainy Florida summer, and with a pool that gets a lot of sun all day. The SWCG setting itself to 0% on it's own didn't help either. Fast-forward a few days, and on the morning we return, I find myself in the hospital for a day or so (nothing major, fortunately). During this time, a decision is made (without my approval) to hire a pool service to clean the pool, as it's "too much" for me to manage.
<sigh>
Now looking back over the video footage, trying to see what has been done to the water. It looks like their approach is to dump in 7.5gal of LC, 1gal of MA, and add "Regal Yellow Blast" (99% sodium bromide) on day 1. Day 2 appears to be more sodium bromide, and that's it. Today's water test yielded a 3.5FC, 0.5CC, 7.2pH.
Armed with this info, I hit TFP and see that the sodium bromide may have created a whole new headache to solve. Am I right?
