For a CYA of 60 I would keep chlorine at 8-9ppm regularly each day, and if there were still any dead algae I would slam to 24ppm again. Our CC is never over 0 and while .5 is ok, given what you went through with the algae I would opt to slam again.Here are my recent numbers:
FC: 4.5
CC: .5
ph: 8
TA: 120
CH: 120
CYA: 60
So I realize that my chlorine level has gotten too low, so I am going to add liquid chlorine in the morning, but what else do you recommend? Pool looks pretty good otherwise, so is the total alkalinity something I need to fix?
What would be a good plan for adding the liquid chlorine each week?
Thanks for your help!
There’s really no “weekly plan”. It’s an as-needed thing based on testing. Test every couple days and let pool math tell you if you need anything, what, and how much. You’ll get into a rhythm where you just need a few cups or quarts of chlorine and nothing more.
Your pH keeps swinging back up because your alkalinity is still a tad high. Use muratic acid to bring your alkalinity down to 70 or 80 and your pH will calm down and stay more stable.
